In this episode, Chris and Eric dive into Paolo Bacigalupi’s The Windup Girl, a vividly imagined biopunk dystopia set in a future Bangkok teetering on the edge of collapse. With rising seas, deadly plagues, and a world economy ruled by genetically modified seeds, survival depends on biotechnology—and brutal power. The hosts unpack the novel’s haunting vision of a world where seed banks are vaults of unimaginable wealth, bio-corporations wield terrifying influence, and engineered humans known as “New People” navigate lives of exploitation and purpose. Join us as we explore the book’s unforgettable characters, moral dilemmas, and chillingly plausible future.   Image: https://i.etsystatic.com/5499337/r/il/a0cc62/2336760362/il_300x300.2336760362_sssr.jpg Music: (Alien 1963)  Trovi Alien 1963 Mp3 qui: https://www.file-up.org/1xyadit3u1ml
