Timesbestselling
author
Kim
Stanley
Robinson
returns
with
a
bold
and
brilliant
vision
of
New
York
City
in
the
next
century.
As
the
sea
levels
rose,
every
street
became
a
canal.
Every
skyscraper
an
island.
For
the
residents
of
one
apartment
building
in
Madison
Square,
however,
New
York
in
the
year
2140
is
far
from
a
drowned
city.
There
is
the
market
trader,
who
finds
opportunities
where
others
find
trouble.
There
is
the
detective,
whose
work
will
never
disappear
-
along
with
the
lawyers,
of
course.
There
is
the
internet
star,
beloved
by
millions
for
her
airship
adventures,
and
the
building's
manager,
quietly
respected
for
his
attention
to
detail.
Then
there
are
two
boys
who
don't
live
there,
but
have
no
other
home
-
and
who
are
more
important
to
its
future
than
anyone
might
imagine.
Lastly
there
are
the
coders,
temporary
residents
on
the
roof,
whose
disappearance
triggers
a
sequence
of
events
that
threatens
the
existence
of
all
-
and
even
the
long-hidden
foundations
on
which
the
city
rests.
New
York
2140is
an
extraordinary
and
unforgettable
novel,
from
a
writer
uniquely
qualified
to
tell
the
story
of
its
future.

Recenzii
"New
York
may
be
underwater,
but
it's
better
than
ever."—The
New
Yorker
"Relevant and essential."—Bloomberg Businessweek
"Science fiction is threaded everywhere through culture nowadays, and it would take an act of critical myopia to miss the fact that Robinson is one of the world's finest working novelists, in any genre.New York 2140 is a towering novel about a genuinely grave threat to civilisation."—Guardian
"Kim Stanley Robinson envisions a future that's closer than we like to think."—NPR Books
"An exploration of human resilience in the face of extreme pressure...starkly beautiful and fundamentally optimistic visions of technological and social change in the face of some of the worst devastation we might bring upon ourselves."—The Conversation
"As much a critique of contemporary capitalism, social mores and timeless human foibles, this energetic, multi-layered narrative is also a model of visionary worldbuilding."—RT Book Reviews (Top Pick!)
"The thriller Robinson unspools in that flooded city is gripping on its own merits. But it's the radical imagination of the book that makes it so hard to put down."—Business Insider
"Massively enjoyable"—The Washington Post
"Robinson has established himself as the great humanist of speculative fiction."—Village Voice
"A thoroughly enjoyable exercise in worldbuilding, written with a cleareyed love for the city's past, present, and future."—Kirkus
"The tale is one of adventure, intrigue, relationships, and market forces.... The individual threads weave together into a complex story well worth the read."
—Booklist
"In this both heartening and dismaying vision of a peri-apocalyptic world, human greed (of course) is the villain, to which the only counteragent is the tenacity and resolve of the human spirit."—Financial Times
"New York 2140truly is a document of hope as much as dread."—Los Angeles Review of Books
"A rousing tribute to the human spirit."—San Francisco Chronicle on Aurora
"The thrilling creation of plausible future technology and the grandness of imagination...magnificent."—Sunday Times on Aurora
"[Robinson is] a rare contemporary writer to earn a reputation on par with earlier masters such as Isaac Asimov or Arthur C. Clarke."—Chicago Tribune on Aurora
"IfInterstellarleft you wanting more, then this novel might just fill that longing."—io9 on Aurora
"Auroramay well be Robinson's best novel...breaks us out of our well-ingrained, supremely well-rehearsed habits of apocalypse - and lets us see the option of a different future than permanent, hopeless standoff."—Los Angeles Review of Books on Aurora
"Humanity's first trip to another star is incredibly ambitious, impeccably planned and executed on a grand scale inAurora."—SPACE.com onAurora
"[A] heart-warming, provocative tale."—Scientific American on Aurora
"This ambitious hard SF epic shows Robinson at the top of his game... [A] poignant story, which admirably stretches the limits of human imagination."—Publishers Weekly on Aurora
"This is hard SF the way it's meant to be written: technical, scientific, with big ideas and a fully realized society. Robinson is an acknowledged SF master-his Mars trilogy and his stand-alone novel2312(2012) were multiple award winners and nominees-and this latest novel is sure to be a big hit with devoted fans of old-school science fiction."—Booklist on Aurora
