Description
Kim Stanley Robinson's Three Californias explores three divergent futures for Orange County, California. A post-apocalyptic world, a future where technology has accelerated to create a corporate-dominated sprawl, and an ecological utopia are presented as alternatives to the present.
The novels that comprise this collection invite readers to consider the consequences of different paths forward. From the possibility of a limited nuclear war to a revolution that addresses climate change, Robinson's vision is both thought-provoking and deeply personal.
This Tor Essentials edition includes an introduction by Francis Spufford, highlighting Robinson's unique ability to create characters with intensely local attachments to their world. A new perspective on hope for the future may be found within these pages.
