The Windup Girl is an amazing book playing in a post apocalyptical Bangkok.
I've been to Bangkok dozens of times now and that helped me visualise the new setting a lot.

The book paints an interesting picture about what a world looks like when it is ruined by designer plagues that wiped out the world food supply, corrupt mega companies, fallen nations and of course: climate change.

The story follows main characters from different factions who are warring for power.
The cool thing is, that you as the reader root for a lot of the characters, even as you know that they are opposing each other.

Very cool read, highly recommended
