Episode 150: Kim Stanley Robinson

The Checkout speaks with world renowned speculative and science fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson.

Kim Stanley Robinson is among the world’s most influential and widely read science fiction writers. His stories are all written with a deep sense of social justice and ecological sustainability. KSR builds themes such as humanism, transcendentalism, and utopia around compelling and memorable characters. And unlike dystopian futurism, his novels all have a sense of optimism and possibility, which are all the more crucial in our current moment of crisis and change.

Host of The Checkout, Errol Schweizer, recommends the following KSR books: The Mars Trilogy, Years of Rice and Salt, New York 2140, Shaman, and most recently, The Ministry For the Future. https://www.kimstanleyrobinson.info/content/kim-stanley-robinson
