New York 2140

Autor Kim Stanley Robinson
en Limba Engleză CD-Audio
The waters rose, submerging New York City. But the residents adapted and it remained the bustling, vibrant metropolis it had always been--though changed forever. Every street became a canal, every skyscraper an island ...Through the eyes of the varied inhabitants of one building, Kim Stanley Robinson shows us how one of our great cities will change with the rising tides. And how we too will change.

Recenzii

"New York may be underwater, but it's better than ever."—The New Yorker
"Relevant and essential."—Bloomberg Businessweek
"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
"Kim Stanley Robinson envisions a future that's closer than we like to think."—NPR Books
"An exploration of human resilience in the face of extreme pressure...starkly beautiful and fundamentally optimistic visions of technological and social change in the face of some of the worst devastation we might bring upon ourselves."—The Conversation
"As much a critique of contemporary capitalism, social mores and timeless human foibles, this energetic, multi-layered narrative is also a model of visionary worldbuilding."—RT Book Reviews (Top Pick!)
"The thriller Robinson unspools in that flooded city is gripping on its own merits. But it's the radical imagination of the book that makes it so hard to put down."—Business Insider
"Massively enjoyable"—The Washington Post
"Robinson has established himself as the great humanist of speculative fiction."—Village Voice
"A thoroughly enjoyable exercise in worldbuilding, written with a cleareyed love for the city's past, present, and future."—Kirkus

Booklist
"In this both heartening and dismaying vision of a peri-apocalyptic world, human greed (of course) is the villain, to which the only counteragent is the tenacity and resolve of the human spirit."—Financial Times
"New York 2140truly is a document of hope as much as dread."—Los Angeles Review of Books
"A rousing tribute to the human spirit."—San Francisco Chronicle on Aurora
"The thrilling creation of plausible future technology and the grandness of imagination...magnificent."—Sunday Times on Aurora
"[Robinson is] a rare contemporary writer to earn a reputation on par with earlier masters such as Isaac Asimov or Arthur C. Clarke."—Chicago Tribune on Aurora
"IfInterstellarleft you wanting more, then this novel might just fill that longing."—io9 on Aurora
"Auroramay well be Robinson's best novel...breaks us out of our well-ingrained, supremely well-rehearsed habits of apocalypse - and lets us see the option of a different future than permanent, hopeless standoff."—Los Angeles Review of Books on Aurora
"Humanity's first trip to another star is incredibly ambitious, impeccably planned and executed on a grand scale inAurora."—SPACE.com onAurora
"[A] heart-warming, provocative tale."—Scientific American on Aurora
"This ambitious hard SF epic shows Robinson at the top of his game... [A] poignant story, which admirably stretches the limits of human imagination."—Publishers Weekly on Aurora
"This is hard SF the way it's meant to be written: technical, scientific, with big ideas and a fully realized society. Robinson is an acknowledged SF master-his Mars trilogy and his stand-alone novel2312(2012) were multiple award winners and nominees-and this latest novel is sure to be a big hit with devoted fans of old-school science fiction."—Booklist on Aurora
