La ragazza meccanica

The way the Windup Girl's world explores biotech feels so vivid and plausible. I'm curious whether the author drew from real scientific trends or speculative imagination.

Their pursuit of profit at any cost made me uneasy but also reflected real-world issues. Were these characters meant to be purely villains or more nuanced?

The setting feels so immersive—did the author develop a detailed history or ecosystem, or was it more organic during writing?
