Perrot Memorial Library and the Greenwich Conservation Commission invite you to a two-part book discussion of The Ministry for the Future, by Kim Stanley Robinson, led by Author and Greenwich Pen Woman Heidi Matonis. Part one of the discussion will take place on Monday, March 2, at 7 pm in the Program Room, Youth Services Department, Radcliffe Children’s Library, Perrot Memorial Library. Part two will take place on Monday, April 20, at 7 pm, also in the Program Room.
From legendary science fiction Author Kim Stanley Robinson comes a vision of climate change unlike any ever imagined. Kim Stanley Robinson is one of contemporary science fiction’s most acclaimed writers, and with this new novel, he once again turns his eye to themes of climate change, technology, politics, and the human behaviors that drive these forces. But his setting is not a desolate, post-apocalyptic world–rather, he imagines a more hopeful future, one where humanity has managed to overcome our challenges and thrive. It is a novel both immediate and impactful.
