Just completed The Windup Girl - a Hugo winner for 2009

The settings is great. Story is in Thailand, but there is a lot of flashbacks to Malaya and its future especially from a Malaysian Chinese point of view (quite matching the stereotype of a typical Chinese).
Can't say too much without spoiling it. What I liked best was the author's description of the world after the petroleum era. It is quite novel. Plot is so-so, but the pacing is good.

Overall, it's a good read.
