Recenzii
"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
"A brilliant, plausible account of how humans might colonize planets, moons and asteroids,2312is also about the future of art and family."
—NPR Books
"A magnificent achievement . . . hugely imaginative and beautifully written."
—Booklist (starred review)
"2312paints an absolutely credible and astonishingly beautiful picture of the centuries to come, of the sort of schism and war, the art and love, the industry and ethics that might emerge from humanity going to space without conquering it and without solving all its problems."
—Boing Boing
"In his vibrant, often moving new novel,2312, Robinson's extrapolation is hard-wired to a truly affecting personal love story. [...] Perhaps Robinson's finest novel,2312is a treasured gift to fans of passionate storytelling; readers will be with Swan and Wahram in the tunnel long after reaching the last page."
—LA Times
"Robinson's extraordinary completeness of vision results in a magnificently realized, meticulously detailed future in which social and biological changes keep pace with technological developments."
—Publishers Weekly
"2312is a monumental tour-de-force that re-imagines the solar system in ways no one has envisioned before. Whether comparing the compositions of Beethoven to those of skylarks and warblers, or describing a life-threatening sunrise on Mercury, Robinson fills2312with joy and exuberance, danger and fear, and the steadily mounting suspense of a mystery that spans the planets. This is the finest novel yet from the author who gave us the Mars Trilogy and GALILEO'S DREAM. An amazing accomplishment."
—Robert Crais
"Inherently epic stuff . . . expect interplanetary strife, conspiracies, more big ideas than most SF authors pack into a trilogy . . . [yet] this is ultimately in so many respects a book about Earth . . . a wise and wondrous novel"
—SFX
"Beautifully written and with strong mental imagery"
—SciFi Now
"An SF masterpiece."
