A review by blairmahoney
2312 by Kim Stanley Robinson

4.0

This is the first novel I've read by Robinson and I was impressed. I like the focus on our solar system 300 years in the future. The novel is obviously based on a huge amount of research and plausibly extrapolates to future technology that could be used to settle other planets, but Robinson also writes with some artistry and the research doesn't overwhelm the work. He also doesn't restrict himself to technological developments but gives a lot of attention to social and political developments.
