Annotation: In ‘Ship Breaker’, Bacigalupi writes a brilliantly fleshed out, post-climate change apocalypse world in an action sci-fi novel that is gritty, complex and compelling. In this world society has crumbled and fossil fuels have been used up. 17 year old Nailer scavenges from grounded oil tankers to meet his drug-addicted and violent father’s quotas, but when he finds a young girl trapped on one of these tankers Nailer must make a choice between turning this girl in for money or taking a chance and saving her. Fast-paced and suspenseful, this novel is a must read for any dystopian fiction lovers out there.
