Kim Stanley Robinson - New York 2140 (2nd Hand Paperback)
Synopsis
Nominated for The Hugo Award 2018.
A new vision of the future from Kim Stanley Robinson, the New York Times bestselling author of science fiction masterworks such as the Mars trilogy, 2312 and Aurora.
As the sea level 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.
Through the eyes of the varied inhabitants of one building, Kim Stanley Robinson shows us how one of our great cities will change with the rising tides. And how we too will change.
New York Times bestselling author Kim Stanley Robinson delivers a bold and brilliant vision of New York in the next century.

'Massively enjoyable' - Washington Post.
'Gripping . . . so hard to put down' - Business Insider.
'A document of hope as much as dread' - Los Angeles Review of Books.
'Even at 600-plus pages, there's a leanness to the prose that keeps the plot moving forwards . . . Robinson handles setpieces with aplomb." - SFX.
'It's near impossible to capture the vibrance of the entire city in the span of one single novel, yet Kim Stanley Robinson manages to do just that and more.' - Newsweek.
'Like all great sci-fi, New York 2140 is as much inward-looking as it is forward - . . . Robinson's work has a strong, intelligent social conscience.' - GQ.
