Awesome eco-scifi author Paolo Bacigalupi reports that he's just sold an intriguing-sounding dystopian novel to publisher Little, Brown. Bacigalupi writes, "The book in question is Ship Breaker, a young adult novel about all of my favorite things: global warming, peak oil, genetic engineering, poverty and collapsed societies.

Bacigalupi has already published a book of short stories, Pump Six, and is working on another novel called The Windup Girl. [via Windup Stories] More »
