Summary
The waters rose, submerging New York City. But the residents adapted, and it remained the bustling, vibrant metropolis it had always been. Though changed forever. Every street became a canal. Every skyscraper an island. Through the eyes of the varied inhabitants of one building, Kim Stanley Robinson shows us how one of our great cities will change with the rising tides. And how we, too, will change.

Perfect.
One of the best books I've ever read. I listened to it months ago and came back to write this because it continues to resonate. Well researched with interesting characters that feel so real and human. Well read too with a group of readers.

Thoroughly recommended if you like you're speculative fiction
That KSR sure knows how to write a vivid book. Hats off to the brilliant voice cast too.

Brilliant setting, story not so much.
great idea for a setting, drowned New York, but I didn't think the story ever accumulated to much or really got resolved. it's probably how it's meant to be, but it didn't sit right with me. rather than all the story lines coming together, they head that way but then the book ends.

Awesome
The narrators were incredible. It felt like they were the characters themselves and gave each character an individual feeling in my head. I didn’t want this story to end, I wanted to hear more adventures

Fantastic cast read story
Great characters, superb narration, great story. It felt a little daunting given the length but by the end I didn't want it to be over. Fresh approach to a really well told story.

One narrator would be better.
Different narrators for the different narratives seemed like a good idea at first but ends up becoming an annoying distraction as they start to intertwine.

Persistence required & rewarded
I have to admit that I almost gave up on this book during its extended and slow introductions to characters and scenarios. I also think that it can't be listened to continuously; time is required to reflect on those characters and their interactions as the stories progress.
However, persistence pays off, as those interactions and their complex natures are revealed. True, there is the odd, rather forced co-incidence and the occasional telegraphing of events, but the strength of the narrative allows these to be overlooked easily. The final chapter leaves the story open-ended; there is no happy conclusion, but somehow, it doesn't matter.
The ensemble performance is excellent.
I recommend this book to all, not just fans of science-fiction.

great idea let down by too much waffling
a great idea for a book one of those stories that keeps you listening even though you know it's not actually going anywhere left me feeling that I had been very disappointed but how wonderful would it be if the main idea of the plot actually could work in real life
