Spend an evening with best-selling author Kim Stanley Robinson

Come spend an evening with New York Times best-selling author Kim Stanley Robinson and Postlight co-founder Paul Ford as they discuss Robinson’s huge, amazing new book, NEW YORK 2140.

The city is literally underwater (well, south of midtown). Commuters travel by boat. But it’s still NYC, complete with street urchins, big finance, and beat cops.

New York 2140 is a towering novel about a genuinely grave threat to civilisation. Impressively ambitious, it bears comparison with other visionaries’ attempts to squeeze the sprawl and energy of the US between two covers: John Dos Passos’s USA trilogy and Don DeLillo’s Underworld. — Adam Roberts, The Guardian
