Acerca deste libro electrónico
“Bold, manic, wonderful,” this dystopian sci-fi thriller imagines ecological collapse in an alternative future California (Los Angeles Times).
2027: Southern California is a developer’s dream gone mad, an endless sprawl of condos, freeways, and malls. Jim McPherson, the affluent son of a defense contractor, is a young man lost in a world of fast cars, casual sex, and designer drugs. But his descent in to the shadowy underground of industrial terrorism brings him into a shattering confrontation with his family, his goals, and his ideals.
“Owes more to 1984 and A Clockwork Orange than to the usual SF scenario. . . . Robinson offers a stark cautionary tale with a glimmer of hope at the end.” —Publishers Weekly
“A rich, brave book . . . It celebrates, with an earned and elated refusal of despair, the persistent, joyful survival of human persons in the interstices of the American juggernaut.” —Washington Post

Acerca do autor
Kim Stanley Robinson's Three Californias trilogy -- The Wild Shore, The Gold Coast, and Pacific Edge -- has been observed as "an intriguing work, one that will delight and entertain you, and, most importantly, cause you to stop and think" (The Santa Ana Register). His many other novels include Escape from Kathmandu and Green Mars -- which won the Hugo and Locus Award for Best Novel.
