Kim Stanley Robinson
(b.1952)Kim Stanley Robinson was born in 1952 and, after travelling and working around the world, has now settled in his beloved California. He is widely regarded as the finest science fiction writer working today, noted as much for the verisimilitude of his characters as the meticulously researched hard science basis of his work. He has won just about every major SF award there is to win and is the author of the massively successful and lavishly praised Mars series.

Kim Stanley Robinson recommends
Tomorrowing (2024)
Terry Bisson
"Much like Samuel Beckett, Terry Bisson's fiction got more and more compressed as he aged, until it came to these short stories, which are amazing, hilarious, deep. Tomorrowing is one of the greatest story collections in American literature. Read it and see what I mean."
The Lost Cause (2023)
Cory Doctorow
"This book looks like our future and feels like our present-it's an unforgettable vision of what could be. Even a partly good future will require wicked political battles and steadfast solidarity among those fighting for a better world, and here I lived it along with Brooks, Ana Lucia, Phuong, and their comrades in the struggle. Along with the rush of adrenaline I felt a solid surge of hope. May it go like this."
The Shamshine Blind (2023)
Paz Pardo
"The Shamshine Blind is a deadpan hilarious allegory for our times, in the classic style of Philip K. Dick and the other great social satirists of science fiction - full of heart and sharp as a razor."
