His Mars trilogy (Red Mars\, Green Mars\, and Blue Mars) was an international bestseller\, and continues to be one of the most widely read works of science fiction\, a benchmark in discussions of humanity in space. His environmentalist work closer to home was the basis for him being named one of Time magazine’s “Heroes of the Environment” in 2008. He has worked with the U.S. National Science Foundation\, and was part of their Antarctic Artists and Writers program in 1995\, when he spent two months in Antarctica courtesy of NSF. He was part of the Sequoia Parks Foundations’ artist program in 2008. His articles and stories have been published in Nature\, The New York Times\, Newsweek\, U.S. News and World Report\, The Washington Post\, The New Scientist\, and Wired. He was the guest of Honor at the 68th World Science Fiction Convention\, in Melbourne\, 2010. His 2012 novel\, 2312\, was a New York Times bestseller\, as were his 2013 novel Shaman and 2015’s Aurora. Robinson has a B.A. and a Ph.D. in literature from University of California\, San Diego\, and an M.A. in English from Boston University.

SUMMARY:KSR & Oliver Morton - Remaking the Planet
DESCRIPTION:Climate One: Remaking the Planet \nThursday\, January 28th\, 2016 6:30 pm \n\n555 Post Street\, San Francisco CA 94102 \nIncreasing droughts\, floods and other severe climate-driven events are raising questions about building a planetary panic button. One possible solution is hacking the sky and oceans on a scale unprecedented in human history. Options for geoengineering include a stratospheric veil against the sun\, the cultivation of photosynthetic plankton\, and fleets of unmanned ships seeding the clouds. That sounds like science fiction\, but a small group of scientists and technologists are advocating for funding and testing such far-fetched scenarios in case people can’t kick their addiction to fossil fuels in time to stabilize the climate that supports our economy and lifestyles. \nOliver Morton’s new book\, The Planet Remade\, explores the promise and peril of tinkering in technologies with profound moral and political implications. \nJoin us for a conversation about the technological\, moral and governance concerns rising from geoengineering and what it means to our relationship to nature. \n\nEvent page: Commonwealth Club \nAudio recording

SUMMARY:Crosstalks: Looking to the stars
DESCRIPTION:Looking to the stars – unlocking the mysteries of the universe \nSeptember 30\, 2015 \n\n\nThe new space age is here – and it´s quite different from the previous space heyday of the 60s and 70s. We are possibly on the brink of explaining huge areas in astroparticle physics like dark matter and the earliest stages of the birth of the universe. At the same time we are seeing a renewed interest in space technology\, both from the private and the public sector. \n  \nHow can we continue to explore the universe with the technology and theoretical frameworks emerging today? How do hands on research into spaceflight interact with theoretical physics? And what are the next milestones in understanding the universe and our place in it? \nGuests in the studio:\nKatherine Freese\, Theoretical Astrophysicist\, Professor of Physics at Stockholm University and Director of the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics (NORDITA)\,\nChrister Fuglesang\, ESA astronaut\, Adjunct Professor in Space Physics and Director of KTH Space Center at KTH Royal Institute of Technology\nAriel Goobar\, Professor of Experimental Particle Astrophysics at Stockholm University and director of the Oskar Klein Centre. \nOn Skype: Kim Stanley Robinson\, Bestselling American science fiction writer\, author of the Mars trilogy \nCrosstalks is an international academic talk show broadcast once a month as a joint venture produced by Stockholm University and KTH Royal Institute of Technology. The idea is to be a platform for academic discussions on current research and global challenges\, in an open and on-going dialogue with viewers around the world. The programme is relaxed\, with a twinkle in its eye\, just like a good\, engaging lecture\, moderated by the well-known journalist Johanna Koljonen.\n \n\n  \nKSR joined by Skype \npages offline \nhttp://talks.crosstalks.tv/looking-to-the-stars-the-new-space-age-1 \nhttp://talks.crosstalks.tv/looking-to-the-stars-unlocking-the \nhttp://www.su.se/english/society-and-business/academic-talkshow/there-is…

SUMMARY:Recordings @ Reykjavik
DESCRIPTION:The Environment\, the Future and the Future of Writing \n11/09/2015 12:00 – 12:45 \nLocation: Nordic House (Sturlugata 5 Reykjavik 101 IS) \n  \n\n\nScience fiction is a genre that enjoys huge cult popularity\, and its power as a political tool should not be underestimated. Renowned science fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson (USA)\, named ‘Hero of the Environment’ by Time Magazine\, depicts the colonization of Mars in the face of ecological disaster on Earth in his Marstrilogy. Icelandic author and environmental activist Andri Snær Magnason’s award-winning novel The Dreamland examines the effects of heavy industry in Iceland. This panel will consider the role of literature in relation to the environmental issues that face all humans in current and future generations. \nThe Environment\, the Future and the Future of Writing: Kim Stanley Robinson & Andri Snær Magnason \nModerator: Óttarr Proppé \nIn collaboration with Reykjavík\, UNESCO City of Literature\n \n\nThe Hard Problem \n11/09/2015 21:00 – 22:00 \nLocation: Iðnó Theater (Vonarstræti 3 Reykjavik 101 IS) \n\n\nIn this very special event\, Kim Stanley Robinson will give a live performance of a radio play that is adapted from his latest science fiction novel Aurora (2015)\, the tale of a voyage between the stars. Robinson created this piece with Marina Abramović and 25 others in a workshop at UC San Diego\, originally intended for use in her performance at the 2015 Venice Bienalle. For this performance\, Robinson will read live as the narrator\, a conscious computer running the starship\, while dreaming passengers on the ship chime in with different voices. The darkened room and soundtrack will create a mystical effect\, taking the audience on a fantastical journey. \nThe Hard Problem: Kim Stanley Robinson and Marina Abramović in collaboration with the Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination \nAurora: A Voyage Between the Stars by Kim Stanley Robinson

SUMMARY:Toward A Plausible Utopia @ New Ideas City Museum
DESCRIPTION:Make No Little Plans: A CONVERSATION IN TWO PARTS: Part 1. Toward A Plausible Utopia \n\n\nAs the speed of technological innovation accelerates\, life in the twenty-first century metropolis is coming closer to fulfilling the predictions of science-fiction writers of decades past\, and not always for the best. Many of the most apocalyptic scenarios envisioned by novelists—extreme overcrowding\, conflict driven by climate change\, the crisis of capitalism\, mass uprisings—have also become all too familiar. Could it be that the solutions to today’s challenges are already written? What can architects learn from the wild speculations of their literary heroes? Two of today’s most acclaimed voices from the fields of architecture and science fiction discuss their visions for life in the near-future metropolis. \nBjarke Ingels \nArchitect\, Founder\, Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG)\, and Cofounder\, KiBiSi Design Group \nBjarke Ingels is renowned for his innovative approach to sustainable development and renewable energy\, and his acclaimed architectural practice\, BIG\, operates within the fields of architecture\, urbanism\, research\, and development. BIG was recently selected as the designer of a $335 million storm defense system to defend lower Manhattan from future floods\, as well as the new Google campus in Palo Alto\, California\, in association with Thomas Heatherwick. \nKim Stanley Robinson\nAmerican science-fiction novelist\nRobinson is best known for his award winning Mars Trilogy (1993–99)\, in which humans\, in light of environmental catastrophe\, are forced to colonize the planet Mars. His books address issues revolving around the imminent warming of our planet as well as the dark sides of capitalism and democracy. He has been invited to speak at multiple fiction and science-fiction conferences as well as the “Rethinking Capitalism” conference at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, in 2011.\n \n\nNew Ideas City Museum\nThe Great Hall at Cooper Union\n7 E 7th St\nNew York\, NY 10003  \nEvent
