Kim Stanley Robinson, The Ministry for the Future
October 26, 2020 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm PDT
Legendary science fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson will share his new novel—a remarkable vision of climate change over the coming decades.
The Ministry for the Future is a masterpiece of the imagination, using fictional eyewitness accounts to tell the story of how climate change will affect us all. Its setting is not a desolate, postapocalyptic world, but a future that is almost upon us—and in which we might just overcome the extraordinary challenges we face. It is a novel both immediate and impactful, desperate and hopeful in equal measure, and it is one of the most powerful and original books on climate change ever written.
