Reviews
"An accomplished eco-techno-thriller with heart and soul as well as brain. Chen Qiufan is an astute observer, both of the present world and of the future that the next generation is in danger of inheriting ." - David Mitchell, New York Times bestselling author of Cloud Atlas and The Bone Clocks " Thrilling...fresh ." -- The Washington Post " Something startlingly new ... an action-packed story that's full of moral complexity. This is the futuristic vision that everybody needs right now ." --Charlie Jane Anders, author of All the Birds in the Sky " The pinnacle of near-future science fiction ." --Cixin Liu, Hugo Award-winning author of The Three Body Problem "Chen weaves a stunning tale of greed and deftly exposes all the hidden contours of the human heart." --Maggie Shen King, author of An Excess Male "Filled with wonderful invention, compelling characters and a whirlpool of story, Waste Tide is an urgently-needed, thought-provoking wild ride of a novel. I couldn't put it down." - Lavie Tidhar, author of Central Station "Viscerally gripping action... sheer excellence." -- Kirkus (starred review) " Already an award winner in China, this book is likely to draw comparisons to Cixin Liu's The Three Body Problem and Kim Stanley Robinson's New York 2140 and is a provocative addition to the growing corpus of Chinese speculative fiction and near-future and realist sf as a whole." -- Library Journal "A complex and provocative exploration of the interactions among social class, corporate ambition, cultural identity, environmentalism, and human potential, with enough buzzy ideas to power a couple of novels, and enough violent melodrama to keep the reader plummeting along." --Gary K. Wolfe for Locus "A sci-fi blockbuster with mob bosses, robots and a powerful virus ...downright prescient" -- Shelf Awareness . "A chilling sci-fi novel about class war and trash in near-future China, and the people the world's economy leaves behind... Pressingly relevant." -- The Verge, " Something startlingly new ... an action-packed story that's full of moral complexity. This is the futuristic vision that everybody needs right now ." --Charlie Jane Anders, author of All the Birds in the Sky "An accomplished eco-techno-thriller with heart and soul as well as brain. Chen Qiufan is an astute observer, both of the present world and of the future that the next generation is in danger of inheriting ." - David Mitchell, New York Times bestselling author of Cloud Atlas and The Bone Clocks " The pinnacle of near-future science fiction ." --Cixin Liu, Hugo Award-winning author of The Three Body Problem "Readers will cherish the opportunity to experience Chen's sweeping, complex, and deeply emotional near-future dystopian vision via this thoughtful rendition by Hugo-winning translator and author Liu... Chen's story is extremely relevant to the current moment of throwaway culture, increasing income disparity, and technological advances progressing at such a rate that morality and ethics have trouble keeping up. Readers who crave gorgeous imagery and a thrilling narrative that also explicitly wrestles with big questions will be overjoyed ." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Chen weaves a stunning tale of greed and deftly exposes all the hidden contours of the human heart." --Maggie Shen King, author of An Excess Male "Filled with wonderful invention, compelling characters and a whirlpool of story, Waste Tide is an urgently-needed, thought-provoking wild ride of a novel. I couldn't put it down." - Lavie Tidhar, author of Central Station "A sci-fi blockbuster with mob bosses, robots and a powerful virus ...downright prescient" -- Shelf Awareness "A hard-hitting, uncompromising look at the near future" --Adrian Tchaikovsky "Viscerally gripping action... sheer excellence." -- Kirkus (starred review), "The pinnacle of near-future SF writing." --Cixin Liu, Hugo Award-winning author of The Three Body Problem " Something startlingly new... an action-packed story that's full of moral complexity.

Synopsis
Chen Qiufan is an award-winning science fiction writer and the VP of Branding & Communications at Noitom, a motion capture and VR startup. He's previously worked at Google China and currently lives in Shanghai., A LOCUS AWARD FINALIST FOR BEST FIRST NOVEL Award-winning author Chen Qiufan's Waste Tide is a thought-provoking vision of the future. Translated by Ken Liu, who brought Cixin Liu's Hugo Award-winning The Three Body Problem to English-speaking readers. Mimi is drowning in the world's trash. She's a waste worker on Silicon Isle, where electronics -- from cell phones and laptops to bots and bionic limbs -- are sent to be recycled. These amass in towering heaps, polluting every spare inch of land. On this island off the coast of China, the fruits of capitalism and consumer culture come to a toxic end. Mimi and thousands of migrant waste workers like her are lured to Silicon Isle with the promise of steady work and a better life. They're the lifeblood of the island's economy, but are at the mercy of those in power. A storm is brewing, between ruthless local gangs, warring for control. Ecoterrorists, set on toppling the status quo. American investors, hungry for profit. And a Chinese-American interpreter, searching for his roots. As these forces collide, a war erupts -- between the rich and the poor; between tradition and modern ambition; between humanity's past and its future. Mimi, and others like her, must decide if they will remain pawns in this war or change the rules of the game altogether. "An accomplished eco-techno-thriller with heart and soul as well as brain. Chen Qiufan is an astute observer, both of the present world and of the future that the next generation is in danger of inheriting ." - David Mitchell , New York Times bestselling author of Cloud Atlas, Award-winning author Chen Qiufan's Waste Tide is a thought-provoking vision of the future.
