About this listen
Winner of the 2013 Nebula Award for best novel.
The year is 2312. Scientific advances have opened gateways to an extraordinary future. Earth is no longer our only home; new habitats have been created throughout the solar system, on moons, planets and in between. But in 2312, a sequence of events will force humanity to confront our past, present and future.
The first event takes place on Mercury, in the city of Terminator, itself a miracle of engineering on an unprecedented scale. For Swan Er Hong, it will change her life. Once a designer of worlds, now Swan will be led into a plot to destroy them.
2312 is a bold vision of humanity's future and a compelling portrait of those individuals who will shape its events.

"Kim Stanley Robinson is one of science fiction's greats...fans of the Mars books will delight in this novel; new readers will be astonished by the depth, breadth and power of Robinson's invention." (Sunday Times)
"Polymathic, visionary brilliance." (Financial Times)
Certainly for giving us a glimpse of a potential post-capitalist world. No utopia but a realistic communist civilisation expanding out into the stars!
Amazing view of a post-capitalist future!

But the world building and ideas were a lot stronger than the plot, which at times felt like a vehicle to explore the world, rather than being something thrusting things forward organically.
Narrator was Ok but a bit wooden (ie good for the AI characters, but less good for the humans!!;-))
Great world building and very interesting…
