The depleted Colorado River has become one of the last lifelines and the object of armed conflict among the residents of Arizona, California, and Nevada. In an indeterminate near future, extreme water shortages have made the Southwestern United States a dystopia, with the privileged few living in elite “arcologies” with self-generating water recycling systems.

His short story collection, named as PUMP SIX AND OTHER STORIES, was awarded with Locus Award for the best stories in the year 2008.
