Rise of the Water Margin immerses the reader in a near-future world grounded in American and Chinese cultural and political landscapes bickering over climate responsibility wherein technology challenges humanity to redefine its relationship with the Earth.

In the background is the tangled whorl of the Jianghu—the Rivers and Lakes of China’s wuxia demimonde—ever seeking to evade the surveillance state, ever seeking justice in an unjust world.
