About this ebook
'Kim Stanley Robinson is one of science fiction's greats . . . fans of the Mars books will delight in this novel; new readers will be astonished by the depth, breadth and power of Robinson's invention' - SUNDAY TIMES
'Polymathic, visionary brilliance' - FINANCIAL TIMES
Winner of the 2013 Nebula Award for Best Novel
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 will force humanity to confront our past, present and future.
The first event takes place on Mercury, in the city of Terminator, itself a miracle of engineering on an unprecedented scale. For Swan Er Hong, it will change her life. Once a designer of worlds, now Swan will be led into a plot to destroy them.
2312 is a bold vision of humanity's future and a compelling portrait of those individuals who will shape its events.

Okay: a bit slow with predictable plotting, very American type writing. I think this story illuminates the authors politics rather than being a good read. Perhaps science fiction merely shines a spot on the author's society rather than predict the future.

The description sounded interesting but the sample was just page after page after page of descriptive crap. They're on Mercury, we get it, its futuristic, we get it. We don't need a whole chapter describing it. Talk about off putting.
