Reviews
"So far, the best descriptions of what this new world could be like come from Kim Stanley Robinson, a science-fiction author who specializes in depicting the kinds of delights that a world that took our predicament seriously might produce."-- The New Yorker on The Ministry for the Future, "In The Ministry for the Future , his twentieth novel, science fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson creates something truly remarkable." -- Yale Climate Connections on The Ministry for the Future, "If there's any book that hit me hard this year, it was Kim Stanley Robinson's The Ministry for the Future , a sweeping epic about climate change and humanity's efforts to try and turn the tide before it's too late."-- Polygon (Best of the Year) on The Ministry for the Future, "If I could get policymakers, and citizens, everywhere to read just one book this year, it would be Kim Stanley Robinson's The Ministry for the Future... Robinson is one of the greatest living science fiction writers."-- Ezra Klein on The Ministry for the Future, "One hopes that this book is read widely--that Robinson's audience, already large, grows by an order of magnitude. Because the point of his books is to fire the imagination."-- New York Review of Books on The Ministry for the Future, "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 on 2312, " The Ministry for the Future ranks among Robinson's best recent works, a collection of actions and observations that adds up to more than the sum of its eclectic and urgent parts."-- Sierra on The Ministry for the Future, "[A] compelling work of speculative fiction about solving the climate crisis around the world... This story is heavy but important. Be prepared to lose sleep as you won't want to pause for anything." -- AudioFile on The Ministry for the Future

Synopsis
ONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR "The best science-fiction nonfiction novel I've ever read." --Jonathan Lethem "If I could get policymakers, and citizens, everywhere to read just one book this year, it would be Kim Stanley Robinson's The Ministry for the Future. " --Ezra Klein ( Vox ) 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. Chosen by Barack Obama as one of his favorite books of the year, this extraordinary novel from visionary science fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson will change the way you think about the climate crisis. "One hopes that this book is read widely--that Robinson's audience, already large, grows by an order of magnitude. Because the point of his books is to fire the imagination." New York Review of Books "If there's any book that hit me hard this year, it was Kim Stanley Robinson's The Ministry for the Futur e, a sweeping epic about climate change and humanity's efforts to try and turn the tide before it's too late." Polygon (Best of the Year) "Masterly." -- New Yorker "[ The Ministry for the Future ] struck like a mallet hitting a gong, reverberating through the year ... it's terrifying, unrelenting, but ultimately hopeful. Robinson is the SF writer of my lifetime, and this stands as some of his best work. It's my book of the year." -- Locus "Science-fiction visionary Kim Stanley Robinson makes the case for quantitative easing our way out of planetary doom." Bloomberg Green

    Excellent condition views in this more popular set with a few extra views that made the price a very good deal. Packed very well and I appreciated the recycled box. Shipping took a couple of days but was well below what other sellers charge for similar size/weight items. Thanks so much! AAA+++

  • Avoid "Ministry," not what it's cracked up to be, waste of effort!

    Delivery service excellent. But for book so many terrific reviews, but read most of "Ministry" and found it really tedious (and I'm a published novelist). Author churns many unique ideas, but no real pull through, dramatic involvement or any depth of characters. Supposed to be exceptional sci fi for climate concerns, found it truly waste of my money & effort!

  • Uneven. But a devastatingly important book.

    This isn't science fiction, let's call it Futuristic fiction. Set in a convincing reality. Opens 25 years from now with a devastating heatwave in India that drives everyone into the river, where they are nearly boiled like lobsters. Postulates what'll happen if we continue to lack the will to take strict measures to halt climate change. Hopscotches from the Antarctic ice shelf -where a possible solution is to re-freeze the melting glaciers- to Davos where a climate summit is besieged by eco-terrorists. All frighteningly believable...and a fierce wake-up call for us to conquer this inertia and DO SOMETHING!!! Well worth disregarding the uneven structure to marvel at the great episodes. Get it.
