This article reads Chen Qiufan’s through Val Plumwood’s critique of dualism to show how ecological degradation, gendered violence, and ethnicized precarity converge in the novel’s postcyberpunk world. Rather than treating e-waste as mere setting, the novel turns toxic infrastructure into a social grammar that determines whose labor is expendable, whose life counts, and whose habitat may be sacrificed. Plumwood helps clarify the novel’s hierarchies—nature/culture, native/migrant, male/female, clean/dirty—while the essay also shows where her framework needs supplementation from intersectional and material ecofeminist thought. Through Mimi’s stigmatization, cyborg transformation, and the ending, the article argues that imagines repair as ethically charged yet politically unstable: the waste people briefly unsettle the island’s nativist order, but their recognition is quickly reabsorbed into the techno-capitalist system that made them disposable.
