SUMMARY:ASU ClimateWorks
DESCRIPTION:Arizona State University ClimateWorks \n\n\nCan speculative fiction help us prepare for the future? \n\nTuesday\, June 9\, 2020\n9:00am – 10:00am (America/Phoenix)\n\nAs we imagine a climate future based on science and policy projections\, fiction writers are increasingly imagining climate-impacted worlds of their own. These imagined futures might appear unbelievable or unsettling\, but they can also be informative and open our minds to trends and influences from different angles in a more holistic vision of the future. \nJoin three award-winning authors of speculative fiction\, Kim Stanley Robinson\, Chinelo Onwualu\, and Brenda Cooper\, in a discussion about climate futures\, moderated by the Ed Finn\, founding director of Arizona State University’s Center for Science and the Imagination.\n \n\nEvent page

SUMMARY:Green New Deal @NYC
DESCRIPTION:The Green New Deal: Shaping A Public Imagination with Kim Stanley Robinson \nFebruary 18 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm EST  \nBrown Institute at Columbia 2950 Broadway\, New York\, NY 10027 \n\n\nCan climate fiction help overcome political friction? \nWhen climate change is the focus of both fiction and nonfiction\, dystopia tends to rule. It’s not hard to see why\, given that 30 years of efforts to push past fossil fuels have barely shifted the global energy mix and impacts on humans and nature mount as vulnerable communities encounter off-the-charts climate extremes. A notable exception is the prize-winning work of Kim Stanley Robinson\, one of the planet’s most lauded living novelists of science fiction—and one who builds sweeping visions of profoundly altered\, but functioning\, civilizations on (and off) a deeply disrupted planet. \nIn a rare stop at Columbia\, Robinson will shift his focus to the present and speak on shaping public imaginations toward an embrace the Green New Deal\, released one year ago. \nHe’ll then have a climate conversation with the audience; Kate Wagner\, architecture critic at the New Republic and contributor to Curbed\, The Atlantic\, and other publications; and Dr. Maureen Raymo\, a paleoceanographer at Columbia’s Earth Institute who studies the history of climate change and sea level rise. The moderator will be Andrew Revkin\, who’s been writing on global warming since the 1980s and is now directing a new Earth Institute initiative on communication and sustainability.\n \n\nEvent page

SUMMARY:Three Californias omnibus publication
DESCRIPTION:THREE CALIFORNIAS \nTor Books\nTor/Forge\nOn Sale: 02/18/2020\nISBN: 9781250307569\n848 Pages \n\n\nThe brilliant sf trilogy (The Wild Shore\, The Gold Coast\, Pacific Edge) that launched the career of international bestseller Kim Stanley Robinson\, author of Red Mars and 2312. \nBefore Kim Stanley Robinson terraformed Mars\, he wrote three science fiction novels set in Orange County\, California\, where he grew up. These alternate futures—one a post-apocalypse\, one an if-this-goes-on future reminiscent of Philip K. Dick\, and one an ecological utopia—form a whole that illuminates\, enchants\, and inspires. \nThe Wild Shore was nominated for the Philip K. Dick Award\, and won the Locus Award for Best First Novel. Ursula K. Le Guin hailed it as “A fresh wind blowing”. The second of the trilogy\, The Gold Coast\, is a manic\, savage look at the craziness of technology out of control. The third\, Pacific Edge\, is a Utopia\, where humanity tries to live in harmony with the natural world\, but greed is still a force\, and hearts still break. Pacific Edge won the John W. Campbell Award for Best Novel. \nWith a new introduction by Francis Spufford\, bestselling author of Golden Hill.​\n \n\nLink
