Waste Tide荒潮

Mimi is a waste girl on Silicon Isle, where the world's electronics come to die and migrant workers pay the price of recycling's dark side. When a virus blurs the boundary between human and machine, she becomes the center of a war between clans, corporations and ecologies. Written from the geography of the author's childhood, it remains the definitive novel of technology's hidden costs.

Editions include English, French (L'île de Silicium), German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Russian and Turkish.
