Kim Stanley Robinson

Kim Stanley Robinson is the author of more than 20 books, including the international bestselling Mars trilogy, and more recently New York 2140, Aurora, Shaman, Green Earth and 2312, which was a New York Times bestseller nominated for all seven of the major science fiction awards — a first for any book. He is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest living science-fiction writers; The New York Times has described his speculative fiction as “having an impact in the real world, as biologists and climate scientists, tech entrepreneurs and CEOs of green technology start-ups have looked to his fiction as a possible road map for avoiding the worst outcomes of climate change.”
