The Ministry For The Future by Kim Stanley Robinson

Product Details

About the Book

It's not fantasy. It's not science fiction. It is cli-fi: fiction that at once describes the world we are creating, and offers hope for what it could be. In The Ministry for the Future, acclaimed science fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson tells the story of the decades to come, beginning with a devastating, deadly heat wave in India that opens the novel and sets in motion a global reckoning with the climate crisis. From that catastrophe emerges the Ministry for the Future, an agency created under the Paris Agreement and tasked with defending all living creatures who cannot speak for themselves — including the unborn — by pursuing every avenue available, from international policy to covert direct action.

Told through a kaleidoscopic, panoramic structure blending narrative fiction, eyewitness accounts, scientific reports, economic theory, and speculative future history, the novel follows the Ministry's efforts to reshape global politics, economics, and technology in the face of accelerating climate catastrophe — encompassing geoengineering schemes, radical economic reform, ecoterrorism, and the reinvention of the global financial system, all in service of a genuinely habitable future. Ambitious and immersive in scope, the novel refuses easy answers, instead depicting the messy, difficult, and occasionally hopeful process of civilizational change on a planetary scale.
