Waste Tide
Dystopian · Hard Sci-Fi · Techno-Thriller
Our take
On an island built from the world’s electronic waste, survival depends on enduring the systems that profit from human ruin. Waste Tide follows Mimi, a migrant waste worker caught in a violent struggle between gangs, investors, and revolutionaries in a near-future China poisoned by capitalism and control. This eco-tech thriller blends class conflict, environmental collapse, and sharp social vision into a story that feels both harrowing and urgently real.

About the book
A Locus Award Finalist for Best First Novel. "An accomplished eco-techno-thriller with heart and soul as well as brain." —David Mitchell, New York Times-bestselling author of Cloud Atlas
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.
"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
"Thrilling . . . fresh." —The Washington Post
"Viscerally gripping action . . . sheer excellence." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Lana Myers is still killing. Still hunting. Still haunted. But Logan Bennett—FBI golden boy, the man she's supposed to fear—makes her crave something more. A future not built on blood and vengeance, but one where her heart doesn’t feel like a weapon.
Too bad that future isn’t here yet.

They think she’s weak. They think she’s the girlfriend.
They forgot to check her kill count.
Dark, violent, and shockingly tender—this is romance at its most dangerous.

Logan has always lived by the book—until Lana walked into his life. She’s gorgeous, brilliant, and full of secrets he’s not supposed to want to uncover. But the deeper he falls, the more he suspects she’s hiding something dark.
What he doesn’t know? She’s already drenched in blood—and not just metaphorically.

Dark. Addictive. Morally unhinged. You’ve been warned.
This isn't a love story. It's a mindf*ck.
