The Ministry for the Future

Chosen by Barack Obama as one of his favourite reads of 2020

Established in 2025, the purpose of the new organisation was simple: To
advocate for the world's future generations and to protect all living
creatures, present and future. It soon became known as the Ministry for the
Future, and this is its story.

From legendary science fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson comes a vision of
climate change unlike any ever imagined.

Told entirely through fictional eye-witness accounts, The Ministry For The
Future is a masterpiece of the imagination, the story of how climate change
will affect us all over the decades to come.

Its setting is not a desolate, post-apocalyptic world, but a future that is
almost upon us - and in which we might just overcome the extraordinary
challenges we face.

It is a novel both immediate and impactful, desperate and hopeful in equal
measure, and it is one of the most powerful and original books on climate
change ever written.

'The Ministry for the Future ranks among Robinson's best recent works, a
collection of actions and observations that adds up to more than the sum of
its eclectic and urgent parts' Sierra

'A breathtaking look at the challenges that face our planet in all their
sprawling magnitude and also in their intimate, individual moments of

'Portrays a vision of the near future where, if some people work hard enough,
