Paolo Bacigalupi’s The Windup Girl, one of the most compelling and thought-provoking books I’ve read in a long time, was awarded Best Novel in the 2010 Hugo awards.

It’s about gene hacking, corporate warfare, energy, and personal loyalty set in a not-too-distant future Bangkok.  Highly recommended.  This one is worth your time.
