MEDIA REVIEWS
Robinson is one of the world's finest working novelists, in any genre. New York 2140 is a towering novel about a genuinely grave threat to civilisation - GUARDIAN
Robinson seamlessly binds together characters and narrative strands . . . An immensely enjoyable reading experience - SciFiNow
Robinson's writing is so evocative that you can imagine that any one of his paragraphs could feature in the film of the book . . . a thoughtful, innovative page turner - STARBURST
Even at 600-plus pages, there's a leanness to the prose that keeps the plot moving forwards . . . Robinson handles setpieces with aplomb - SFX
It's near impossible to capture the vibrance of the entire city in the span of one single novel, yet Kim Stanley Robinson manages to do just that and more - NEWSWEEK
Like all great sci-fi, New York 2140 is as much inward-looking as it is forward- . . . Robinson's work has a strong, intelligent social conscience - GQ
Starkly beautiful and fundamentally optimistic - THE CONVERSATION
Only sci-fi can drown Manhattan and make you want to live there - BLOOMBERG BUSINESS WEEK
This may well be Robinson's masterpiece and is surely the most important piece of sf in years - MORNING STAR
There have been more than a few environmental catastrophe tales set in a future New York, but possibly none of them have been this interesting - LOCUS
One of the most exciting books in climate change fiction yet written... Both immensely readable and timely - LITHUB
Utterly immersive and unexpectedly hopeful - RT BOOK REVIEWS
