ONE OF BARACK OBAMA’S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR

An unsettling masterpiece of the imagination, using fictional eyewitness accounts to tell the story of how climate change will impact us all.

“The best science-fiction nonfiction novel I’ve ever read.” —Jonathan Lethem, New York Times bestselling author of The Fortress of Solitude

The Ministry for the Future's setting is not a desolate, postapocalyptic world, but a future that is almost upon us. This extraordinary novel from visionary science fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson will change the way you think about the climate crisis.

"If there’s any book that hit me hard this year, it was Kim Stanley Robinson’s The Ministry for the Future, a sweeping epic about climate change and humanity’s efforts to try and turn the tide before it’s too late." -Polygon (Best of the Year)

"Masterly." —New Yorker

Le plus pertinent
Not only is the story incredibly well documented, disturbingly credible and realistic … but the audio version brings an undeniably added value, by reflecting all the different voices and nationalities accents, making it truly exceptional.

Mindblowing

Unfortunately some of the speakers are really terrible. I was actually thinking it might be AI. Unnatural pronunciation, weird inflections, ghastly imitation of different dialects. Abysmal, really running out of adjectives here...
Story o.k.

Good book terribly read
