ONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR

An unsettling masterpiece of the imagination, using fictional eyewitness accounts to tell the story of how climate change will impact us all.

"The best science-fiction nonfiction novel I've ever read." —Jonathan Lethem, New York Times bestselling author of The Fortress of Solitude

The Ministry for the Future's setting is not a desolate, postapocalyptic world, but a future that is almost upon us. This extraordinary novel from visionary science fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson will change the way you think about the climate crisis.

"If there's any book that hit me hard this year, it was Kim Stanley Robinson's The Ministry for the Future, a sweeping epic about climate change and humanity's efforts to try and turn the tide before it's too late." -Polygon (Best of the Year)

"Masterly." —New Yorker

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Science-fiction visionary Kim Stanley Robinson makes the case for a quantitative easing our way out of planetary doom.” —Bloomberg Green
“Jennifer Fitzgerald leads a full cast in this compelling work…Because the cast of characters come from every continent, Fitzgerald must move from her native Irish lilt into a variety of accents and back with hardly a moment to breathe. The listener feels totally immersed…You won’t want to pause for anything. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” —AudioFile
“A gutsy humane view…[and] sweeping, optimistic portrait of humanity’s ability to cooperate in the face of disaster…A must-read.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“A breathtaking look at the challenges that face our planet in all their sprawling magnitude and also in their intimate, individual moments of humanity.” —Booklist (starred review)
Score a point for the audacity of hope....Robinson digs deep into how, with institutional support and some off-the-books black ops, revolutionary ideas could still seize our world. —Shelf Awareness on The Ministry for the Future
[A] gutsy, humane view of a near-future Earth...Robinson masterfully integrates the practical details of environmental crises and geoengineering projects into a sweeping, optimistic portrait of humanity's ability to cooperate in the face of disaster. This heartfelt work of hard science-fiction is a must-read for anyone worried about the future of the planet. —Publishers Weekly (starred) on The Ministry for the Future
A breathtaking look at the challenges that face our planet in all their sprawling magnitude and also in their intimate, individual moments of humanity. —Booklist on The Ministry for the Future
Science-fiction visionary Kim Stanley Robinson makes the case for quantitative easing our way out of planetary doom. —Bloomberg Green on The Ministry for the Future
...fresh and exciting. Another stellar effort from one of the masters of the genre. —Booklist (starred) on Red Moon
Enjoyable and thought-provoking...[Robinson] is one of contemporary science fiction's great scene-setters. —SF Chronicle on Red Moon
...as convincingly textured and observant as we've come to expect from one of the finest writers of his generation. —Locus magazine on Red Moon
New York may be underwater, but it's better than ever. —The New Yorker on New York 2140
Massively enjoyable. —The Washington Post on New York 2140
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. —Guardian on New York 2140
[A] near-perfect marriage of the technical and the psychological. —NPR Books on Aurora
Intellectually engaged and intensely humane in a way SF rarely is, exuberantly speculative in a way only the best SF can be, this is the work of a writer at or approaching the top of his game. —Iain M. Banks on 2312
