M.M. Buckner
Dear Librarian, WATERMIND is a genre bender about characters, regional culture and science. After winning the Philip K. Dick Award for futuristic SF, I wanted to tackle a present-day story. So I turned to eco-fiction. I learned that, every day, the Mississippi carries 400,000 tons of technological litter from forty-one states and three Canadian provinces. From this soup, what emerges in my story is the WATERMIND. The action unfolds at real sites, so after much reading, I explored Louisiana, talked to locals, climbed levees, listened to zydeco and tasted amazing foods. WATERMIND is about mixing things up to make something new – like the language, music and recipes of the Delta – and the techno-trash. Please visit www.mmbuckner.com for more about WATERMIND. Cordially, M.M. "WATERMIND is...a novel that works the interfaces between any number of genres, where the best modern fiction is now evolving." – Asimov's Science Fiction
