The Ministry for the Future
by Kim Stanley Robinson · 2020
Literary Fiction · ranked #176 in category
In the near future, a new UN body — the Ministry for the Future — attempts to address the climate crisis through financial engineering, geoengineering, political pressure and occasional violence. Robinson's novel is structured as a series of chapters in radically different forms — news reports, speeches, interior monologues — making the case that the systems causing climate change can only be dismantled by the same forces that built them.
