The Want series is Cindy Pon’s move from fantasy into science fiction. Want (2017) is set in a near-future Taipei where environmental collapse has divided society into those who can afford protective technology and those who cannot. A group of teen hackers and activists try to bring down the corrupt system.

Ruse (2019) continues the story. The series blends social commentary with thriller plotting and is set in a specific, contemporary Asian city rather than a generic dystopian landscape.
