Kim Stanley Robinson’s thoughtful and deeply researched novels explore future the future history of humanity. With the Mars trilogy, he chronicled the colonising and settlement of Mars over two centuries. His books are novels of ideas, dealing with the ecological future, scientific theory and the future of the human race. 2312 is set in our solar system exactly three centuries hence. A solar system in which mankind has left earth and discovered new habitats.
The year is 2312. Scientific advances have opened gateways to an extraordinary future. Earth is no longer our only home; new habitats have been created throughout the solar system, on moons, planets, and in between. But in 2312, a sequence of events forces mankind to confront its past, present, and future.
Join us for a special evening with one of the best writers of speculative fiction.
