NEW YORK 2140

“In an era filled with complacent dystopias and escapist apocalypses, Robinson is one of our best, bravest, most moral, and most hopeful storytellers.”—THE NEW YORKER

The waters rose, submerging New York City, but the residents adapted and it remained the bustling, vibrant metropolis it always had been. Though changed forever. Every street became a canal. Every skyscraper an island.Through the eyes of the residents of a single apartment building in Madison Square, Kim Stanley Robinson shows us a bold and brilliant vision of New York in the next century. This is a thought-provoking, immersive vision of the future.

Asexhilarating as the city itself, NEW YORK 2140 is a spectacular achievement from a writer uniquely qualified to tell the story of its future.
