The Ministry for the Future

The Ministry of the Future is a masterpiece of the imagination, using fictional eyewitness accounts to tell the story of how climate change will affect us all. Its setting is not a desolate, post-apocalyptic world, but a future that is almost upon us. Chosen by Barack Obama as one of his favorite books of the year, this extraordinary novel by visionary science fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson will change the way you think about the climate crisis.

“One hopes that this book is widely read—that Robinson’s already large audience grows by an order of magnitude. Because the purpose of his books is to stimulate the imagination.” ― New York Review of Books

“If there’s one book that hit me hard this year, it’s Kim Stanley Robinson’s The Ministry for the Future, a sweeping epic about climate change and humanity’s efforts to try to reverse the trend before it’s too late.” ― Polygon (Best of the Year)

“Mastery.” — New Yorker

“[Ministry for the Future] hit like a mallet striking a gong, echoing throughout the year... it's terrifying, relentless, but ultimately hopeful. Robinson is the SF writer of my life, and this represents some of his best work. It's my book of the year.” — Locus

"Sci-fi visionary Kim Stanley Robinson makes the case for quantitative easing to save our planet from destruction." - Bloomberg Green
