Reviews About “Aurora” by “Kim Stanley Robinson”
If you are yet to discover Kim Stanley Robinson’s work, Aurora is an excellent place to start. And if you haven’t read his Mars trilogy (Red Mars, Green Mars, and Blue Mars), then there are certainly worse places to continue. This is classic science fiction at its very best: broad in scope, epic in ambition, and far from short on ideas. Everything that happens in Aurora will feel familiar; everything will ring true to what we know about human behavior and society as a whole. And that’s where part of its power lies; for our response will be how it will go down with others – how does it speak to our conscience?
