Description
A dystopian thriller set in a polluted and corrupt world. Waste Tide is a story about Mimi, a migrant worker who lives in Silicon Isle, off the southern coast of China, where she is forced to pick through hazardous electronic detritus for a living. The land is hopelessly polluted, and the workers are at the mercy of those in power. As tensions rise, conflict erupts between rich and poor, past and future. Mimi must decide whether to remain a pawn or change the rules of the game altogether. Set against the backdrop of a toxic environment, Waste Tide is an eco-techno-thriller with heart and soul, exploring themes of exploitation, corruption, and the struggle for survival in a world gone wrong.
