The past year has been a mind-bending thrill ride of adrenaline-filled episodes, each more brilliantly perverse and warped than the last.

Can Paolo Bacigalupi's novel The Windup Girl save the world?

In The Windup Girl (Night Shade Books, $24.95), Paolo Bacigalupi's first novel, a novel you could drown in, a tale so tidal with the Near Future that any claim to stake out the territory it surveys might seem Canute-ish, there does remain a least one human who still hopes to hold on to the world. He is a character, it follows, from the planet-shattering past we all remember, as residents of this planet who remember the 20th century, and ...

Hollywood has been trying to mine gold for years from those sometimes classic, sometimes campy shows we watched back when Saturday meant grabbing a bowl of Lucky Charms and vegging out on the couch for hours. Some movies have proven that it's possible to take yesterday's TV and successfully reinvent it for modern audiences. But ...
