Brief introduction to the Short stories of Kim Stanley Robinson
Venice flooded, the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima missed its target, a lame translator settled an alien feud... In more than 20 wonderfully conceived and beautifully written stories, Kim Stanley Robinson explores issues of justice, responsibility, and the environment with readers through the experiences of men, women, and children, earthlings and aliens, in a world that is either plain and real or grotesque.
