New York 2140: A Novel

New York Times bestselling author Kim Stanley Robinson returns with a bold & brilliant vision of New York City in the next century. 

As the sea levels rose, every street became a canal. Every skyscraper an island. For the residents of one apartment building in Madison Square, however, New York in the year 2140 is far from a drowned city. 

There is the market trader, who finds opportunities where others find trouble. There is the detective, whose work will never disappear - along with the lawyers, of course. 

There is the internet star, beloved by millions for her airship adventures, & the building's manager, quietly respected for his attention to detail. Then there are two boys who don't live there, but have no other home - & who are more important to its future than anyone might imagine. 

Lastly there are the coders, temporary residents on the roof, whose disappearance triggers a sequence of events that threatens the existence of all - & even the long-hidden foundations on which the city rests. 

New York 2140 is an extraordinary & unforgettable novel, from a writer uniquely qualified to tell the story of its future.
