Paolo Bacigalupi writes science fiction that deals with environmental collapse, corporate greed, and what happens to ordinary people when the systems they depend on fall apart. His debut novel The Windup Girl, set in a future Thailand struggling with bioengineered plagues and rising seas, won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards in 2010 and established him as one of the most important voices in climate fiction.
His work ranges from adult literary science fiction like The Water Knife and Navola to young adult novels like Ship Breaker and Zombie Baseball Beatdown. He has also published dozens of short stories across major anthologies and magazines since 1999. Whether writing about child laborers stripping old ships for salvage or calorie monopolies controlling the food supply, Bacigalupi keeps returning to questions about survival, power, and the cost of ignoring environmental limits.
