'A towering novel' - Guardian

'Relevant and essential' - Bloomberg Businessweek

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

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

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


Awards
Winner of Nebula Award for Best Novel for 2312 2013. Short-listed for Hugo Award Best Novel category 2018 (UK) and The John W Campbell Memorial Award 2018 (UK).

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
