Both the Bacigalupi and the Mieville novels were a solid four stars for me.
Bacigalupi's "Ship Breaker" was less than mediocre and I just discovered
that I have "The Water Knife" so began reading it today. So far it is a
dark but a brilliant corrupt dystopia of a future of dust storms and
water shortage where Nevada controls the water from the Colorado and
Arizona is turning into a deserted desert like Texas already is.
I'm not likely to read the book any time soon so, how does Texas turn into a desert?
Much of Texas already is a desert.
