The Calorie Man (2005)

Excellent story set in the same universe as Wind-up Girl. This one documents the adventures of an immigrant working in the heartland of the gen tech companies. ( )

Another glimpse at the world that spawned [b:The Windup Girl|6597651|The Windup Girl|Paolo Bacigalupi|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1278940608s/6597651.jpg|6791425]. The world-building is top-notch. This could have been a longer piece but needed a more sympathetic character than the antiques dealer, like say, a windup girl. Nightshade has this story posted on its site, at this link. ( )

Windup as in Clockwork?

AgriGen and Co....Monsanto?

I liked the ideas, the setting. I just had a hard time with the prose - I couldn't sink into it. A reflection on the reader, and not on the writer.
