New York 2140

New York Times bestselling author Kim Stanley Robinson returns with a bold and brilliant vision of New York City in the next century.

As sea level rises, every street has become a canal. Every skyscraper is an island. For the residents of an apartment building in Madison Square, however, New York in the year 2140 is far from a drowned city.

There is the market trader, who finds opportunities where others find problems. There is the detective, whose work will never disappear, along with the lawyers, of course.

There's the internet star, beloved by millions for his airship adventures, and the building manager, quietly respected for his attention to detail. Then there are two boys who don't live there, but have no other home—and who are more important to his future than anyone could imagine.

Finally, there are the Coders, the temporary residents on the roof, whose disappearance sets in motion a sequence of events that threatens everyone's existence—and even the long-hidden foundations on which the city rests.
