    Kim Stanley Robinson Earth Sciences Editorial Review

    Ministry for the Future is an important book that presents a blueprint for the future. While some parts may be overwhelming, the content offers various interpretations upon re-reading. The novel explores multiple storylines and mosaic elements, but lacks a cohesive structure. It contains a mix of postcard-like descriptions and Pollyanish ideas about saving the planet. The plot with the character Mary is simplistic, and the book could have benefited from stricter editing. However, it offers a chilling and hopeful vision of the consequences of climate change and the need for action.

    Pros

    • Important and thought-provoking content
    • Offers a blueprint for the future
    • Multiple interpretations upon re-reading
    • Provides a chilling and realistic depiction of the consequences of climate change
    • Promotes the need for collective action

    Cons

    • Lacks a cohesive structure
    • Includes unnecessary postcard-like descriptions
    • Pollyanish ideas about saving the planet
    • Simplistic plot with some banal characters
    • Could have been shorter with tighter editing
