A review by grayjay
Waste Tide by Chen Qiufan
3.0
This dense novel from Chinese author Chen Quifan brings together corporate espionage, economic assassination, pollution, romance, and giant robots.
While I appreciated the ideological background of the novel, I found it difficult to find a character I could sympathize with. Scott Brandle seems to be the protagonist but he is morally ambiguous and kind of a wet blanket. Mimi would be the second choice but, while she is easy to sympathize with, she is hard to relate to.
