The Waste Tide

Situated on the South China Sea coast, Guiyu got famous in the global environmentalist community for its reception of E-waste.

Migrant laborers, known to the locals as "waste people," are exploited by three families of Silicon Isle natives in a toxic environment that destroys their health.

The waste people dismantle plastic and electronic parts from cybernetic implants and augmentations, robots, and other discarded pieces of advanced technology.

What looks like normal e-waste is actually infected by a virus born out of one of the darkest episodes of World War II, Project Waste Tide.

A class war ignites, one that draws in environmental extremists and waste workers, and involves family feuds and darker conspiracies.
