Thrilled to hear Paolo Baciagalupi tomorrow night at ASU. He'll tell us why Phoenix will be a waterless wasteland 100 yrs from now. Maybe. Well, that's my prognosis, anyway. If you love speculative fiction, The Windup Girl is one of the best I've read in the last…oh, twenty years. His new book, The Water Knife, is about water wars in the American Southwest. A real page-turner, or finger-swiper, depending on your preference.
