Aurora (2015) by Kim Stanley Robinson is centred on a generation ship en route to a Tau Ceti’s Earth-like exoplanet to begin a colony. In this hard SF novel, the story is told by the ship’s AI’s point of view. Complex and well researched as all KSR’s novel, Aurora asks critical questions about mankind’s future in space, presenting disquieting scenarios without being a full-fledged dystopia.
Since reading the Mars trilogy, I’m very interested in KSR’s work. Thanks for reviewing this novel!
Thanks Cinda 🙂
I’m not sure how this one has slipped in beneath my radar – I definitely need to add it to my TBR pile. Thank you for sharing it, Steph.
It’s a great reading, one of the best of this year 🙂
Then I definitely need to get hold of it – many thanks for the headsup!
This was my first KSR book…and I loved it! It definitely made me interested to check out his older work.
KSR is definitely one of my favourite authors. Try the Mars trilogy 🙂
