On Silicon Isle, the world’s waste becomes the foundation of a brutal economy.
Mimi is one of thousands lured to this toxic scrapyard off China’s coast, promised steady work but offered little more than danger and decay. Here, obsolete electronics pile up like monuments to late capitalism, and the waste workers are trapped between exploitation and survival.
As rival gangs, foreign investors, ecoterrorists, and a Chinese-American interpreter converge on the island, tensions erupt into a war over power, identity, and the future of humanity itself.
Caught in the storm, Mimi faces a choice: continue as a cog in the machine or rise as something far more dangerous.
Waste Tide is a visceral eco-techno-thriller where tech meets trash, and the fight for tomorrow begins in the ruins of today.
