I would read this for sure !
yep, i knew someone would be asking this question. no need to follow emiko's story, but a return to the same world i think would be very interesting!
I sincerely hope that you do! One day purchase for me.
Would you go back to present tense, or past tense?
Awesome. Everyone I've talked to about this book wants to read more about that world. I think it's because it's such a plausible future, and it's very frightening!
I hope you'll reconsider dropping the Emiko/wind-up story line! I thought she was a fascinating character, and I'm curious about the colony she was heading to when the book ended.
I hope you will consider back-storying her to Japan (I think it was) and whoever engineered her and presumably her sisters, who must have had interesting "lives" as well.
I think you left a chink open at the end of Emiko's story that could easily turn her into something else entirely, with the experiences of being a 'windup girl' but different constraints and relationships. She's in your head but I can't help thinking of what she could be after the is "fixed" and what "fixed" might look like, and what would then motivate her to keep existing or to move past whatever form of homeostasis she finds herself in at the end of WUG. PS. I've been reading sci fi since I borrowed Fredric Brown's short stories off my father's bookshelf in the early seventies and you are a singular voice. Your future visions of the amalgam of today's social, political and ecological ills are stunning in their detail.
