Omschrijving
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
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
Robinson seamlessly binds together characters and narrative strands . . . An immensely enjoyable reading experience
Robinson's writing is so evocative that you can imagine that any one of his paragraphs could feature in the film of the book . . . a thoughtful, innovative page turner
Even at 600-plus pages, there's a leanness to the prose that keeps the plot moving forwards . . . Robinson handles setpieces with aplomb
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
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
Starkly beautiful and fundamentally optimistic
Only sci-fi can drown Manhattan and make you want to live there
This may well be Robinson's masterpiece and is surely the most important piece of sf in years
One of the most exciting books in climate change fiction yet written... Both immensely readable and timely
Utterly immersive and unexpectedly hopeful

There have been more than a few environmental catastrophe tales set in
a future New York, but possibly none of them have been this interesting
