Optional Reading

As I mentioned from the first post, I m going to read "Wind Up Girl" as an optional reading.
This story take place in 23rd century in Thai land.  Due to global warming, sea level increased and sunk the metropolitan that are place in lower land such as New York.  Also, there are contagious disease for the plants which will make the vegetable we eat inedible.  Thus several companies in the middle U.S.'s bio-company took over the marketplace of vegetable.  However, Thai land have protected from those contagious disease and created a new type of vegetable by controlling the DNA.  To search the secret of the Thai land, bio-comapany have sent an agent to search the detail.  That is the basic setting of this book.  The reasons why I chose this book as my favorite in the list is because every character will have a darkness in their mind, which is very interesting to me and there are a lot of corruption between different countries and the story is written in four different point of views or there are four different main characters in this book.  Also, I prefer science fiction books.
