Mimi se ahoga en la basura del planeta.Es una residual de la Isla de Silicio, lugar al que se envían a reciclar los teléfonos móviles, los portátiles, los robots y los miembros biónicos. Se acumulan en pilas enormes de residuos que contaminan cada centímetro de la tierra. La isla, situada cerca de la costa de China, es la tóxica necrópolis del capitalismo y la cultura de consumo

This was rather excellent. An eco scifi story that morphs into a cyberpunk and techno thriller. Set a couple of decades in the future, a Chinese peninsula absorbs all the world's trash. Yet in a world of tech-enhanced prostheses and biological viruses toxic waste has become more dangerous. Silicon Isle is also the site of class struggle, and a very Chinese merging of animism and techno futurism. Add to that the continous exploitation of the east through western nations, dressed up as greenwashed capitalism. And our heroes are right in the middle of the clashes between the west and the east, between the fighting mafia clans controlling the island, between the locals and the immigrants. A really solid scifi, very much grounded in today's geopolitcal and ecological developments, with great characters and partially quite haunting literary visions of our future.
I finished reading this as the Amazon Rainforest burns...
I love technology, but this book gave me the creeps. I hope this isn't one of those books that is self predicting.
Love Mimi, she just put herself out there and tried to make the world a better place for EVERYONE....
