New York Times best-selling 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"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

Robinson's books, especially New York 2140, tell us of better ways to live our lives and relate to our fellow humans. This is not a dystopian novel. He does present horrific and/or challenging events we may already be facing, and then shows us how we can overcome them together. Is there a higher calling for science fiction than giving us faith in the future?
New York 2140 has just the right mixture of futurism and current social issues. In the book, many people a hundred years hence have reordered their lives to socialize more and to be less isolated. The many major characters that we meet all have important contributions to make which are needed to solve serious problems confronting everyone.
Good science fiction shines a light on our current day lives. That is exactly what New York 2140 does. If you only read one scifi book this year, make it this one. And, think about organizing a reading group to discuss, and spread the word, about all the food-for-thought served up in this delicious book.

What did you like best about New York 2140? What did you like least?
Kim Stanley Robinson is a writer who is very (and justifiably) concerned about climate change, and who is trying to figure out how to communicate that concern through his books (several of them at last count). I think the book is an interesting (and even plausible) look at the future. I just wonder how it plays with people not already convinced about climate change. Does it leave them thinking more about climate change, or do they get tired of the "teaching" in the book and set it aside?5 Stars for Effort!
