Adventurers, scientists, artists, workers, and visionaries - these are the men and women you will encounter in the short fiction of Kim Stanley Robinson. In settings ranging from the sunken ruins of Venice to the upper reaches of the Himalayas to the terraformed surface of Mars itself, and through themes of environmental sustainability, social justice, personal responsibility, sports, adventure, and fun, Robinson's protagonists explore a world which stands in sharp contrast to many of the traditional locales and mores of science fiction, presenting instead a world in which Utopia rests within our grasp.

Barely science fiction

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
This is a book of short stories that are only marginally science fiction and might well impress those who do not like hard science fiction. For example, the first story is a pretty fair man-and-the-sea story which is only science fiction because it is set after the 40 days rains of the 2040's that drowned Venice. Otherwise, it could well be set in the 19th century.
What could Kim Stanley Robinson have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
I expected the author's "best" to be science fiction stories, not fiction with one or two paragraphs of sci-fi. Oh, and it would be nice for the plots to actually make some sense.
What about David Marantz’s performance did you like?
Good narration.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Not badly written if you don't really care for science fiction or the existence of a worthwhile plot.
