“Kim Stanley Robinson is one of contemporary science fiction’s most acclaimed writers, and with this new novel, he once again turns his eye to themes of climate change, technology, politics, and the human behaviors that drive these forces. But his setting is not a desolate, post-apocalyptic world – rather, he imagines a more hopeful future, one where humanity has managed to overcome our challenges and thrive.”

Climate change is an elitist lie.
The entire world could fit into North America with a 1/4 acre or more each.
UN Sustainability studies: Half the scientists said the Earth could support MORE people than currently living on earth.
Climate change is no lie, you’re ignorant.
