Industry Reviews
"2312 paints an absolutely credible and astonishingly beautiful picture of the centuries to come, of the sort of schism and war, the art and love, the industry and ethics that might emerge from humanity going to space without conquering it and without solving all its problems."--Boingboing " In his vibrant, often moving new novel, "2312," Robinson's extrapolation is hard-wired to a truly affecting personal love story. [...] Perhaps Robinson's finest novel, "2312" is a treasured gift to fans of passionate storytelling; readers will be with Swan and Wahram in the tunnel long after reaching the last page."-- LA Times "An sf masterpiece."-- "Library Journal" "2312paints an absolutely credible and astonishingly beautiful picture of the centuries to come, of the sort of schism and war, the art and love, the industry and ethics that might emerge from humanity going to space without conquering it and without solving all its problems." "Boingboing"" "2312 is a monumental tour-de-force that re-imagines the solar system in ways no one has envisioned before. Whether comparing the compositions of Beethoven to those of skylarks and warblers, or describing a life-threatening sunrise on Mercury, Robinson fills 2312 with joy and exuberance, danger and fear, and the steadily mounting suspense of a mystery that spans the planets. This is the finest novel yet from the author who gave us the Mars Trilogy and GALILEO'S DREAM. An amazing accomplishment." "Robert Crais"" "An sf masterpiece."

All of it is in Robinson's eloquent, enthusiastic and inimitable prose"--Morning Star (UK) "A brilliant, plausible account of how humans might colonize planets, moons and asteroids, 2312 is also about the future of art and family."--NPR Books "A feast for the imagination and intellect - shockingly clever"--Sun (UK) "Beautifully written and with strong mental imagery"--SciFi Now "Inherently epic stuff... expect interplanetary strife, conspiracies, more big ideas than most SF authors pack into a trilogy... [yet] this is ultimately in so many respects a book about Earth... a wise and wondrous novel"--SFX "2312 is a monumental tour-de-force that re-imagines the solar system in ways no one has envisioned before.

Banks "Robinson's extraordinary completeness of vision results in a magnificently realized, meticulously detailed future in which social and biological changes keep pace with technological developments."--Publishers Weekly "2312paints an absolutely credible and astonishingly beautiful picture of the centuries to come, of the sort of schism and war, the art and love, the industry and ethics that might emerge from humanity going to space without conquering it and without solving all its problems."--Boingboing "A magnificent achievement...hugely imaginative and beautifully written."--Booklist (Starred Review) on 2312 "An sf masterpiece."
