142. Green Earth -- Kim Stanley Robinson
Episode 142
Published 1 year, 2 months ago
Description
Kim Stanley Robinson returns to discuss his novel Green Earth, a technothriller about a near future world in which scientists work to solve the global climate crisis. Stan and I discuss how the book went from a trilogy to a single volume, its similarity to The Ministry for the Future, and its place in the genre of naturalism. Plus Emerson and Thoreau!
And yes, I get the title of The Ministry for the Future wrong every time I say it in this episode. Oops.
