Description
The twenties of our century. The climate keeps changing and the victims are counted in millions.
In 2025, an international organization called the “Ministry of the Future” is created with its headquarters in Zurich. The Ministry must try to prevent a global catastrophe and give hope to future generations. Alongside official measures, the organization quickly starts using secret operations—operations that involve mass sabotage, killings, financial manipulations, violence, support for radical political movements and ideologies. For the sake of saving the Earth from complete extinction, anything is allowed.
Based on existing trends, Kim Stanley Robinson presents his vision of what might happen in the near future. The panorama he draws covers everything: the economy, politics, technology, ecology. And—especially valuable—the author remains optimistic and sees a path to saving humanity.
