Paolo Bacigalupi

Paolo Bacigalupi’s forthcoming novel Water Knife envisions a world where people will kill for water. Those of us in drought-stricken California, where local communities are hiring “water cops,” wonder if that future is not far off.

The author’s The Windup Girl won both the Hugo and Nebula in 2009. Now Night Shade Books is releasing a new expanded edition of The Windup Girl with additional stories, an author Q&A and in a larger format with a re-imagined cover.
