The Windup Girl

The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacogalupi is a wonderful book.  I usually don't post non-40k books on this site but I have to give a shout out to this book.  It is always very cool to read a book builds a believable and different world.  The characters in this book were well thought out and the storyline was constantly moving.  I haven't read a book like this since SnowCrash or Neuromancer which captures a near future world so well but presents it in a way that is both alien and familiar. Hats off to Paolo for a great book and if you have any interest in expanding out your Sci-fi world,
I highly recommend it.
