The Wind Up Girl (2009)Read about the other entries on the list.
Author: Paolo Bacigalupi
A modern dystopian classic, Bacigalupi describes a world where catastrophes are commonplace, global warming has caused huge sea level rises and biotechnology rules, with mega corporations - calorie companies - controlling food production. Set in Thailand, he creates a vivid dystopian environment and, like so many on this list, an entirely believable one.
The Wind Up Girl is on Annalee Newitz's list of books to prepare you for the economic apocalypse.
