Aurora

by Kim Stanley Robinson

'What a saga! Scifi with honest, complex humanity, physics, biology, sociology' - Tom Hanks

'Aurora is a magnificent piece of writing, certainly Robinson's best novel since his mighty Mars trilogy, perhaps his best ever' - Guardian

Our voyage from Earth began generations ago.

Now, we approach our destination.

A new home.

Aurora.

Brilliantly imagined and beautifully told, Aurora is the work of a writer at the height of his powers.

'Aurora is Robinson's best book yet . . . Heart-wrenching, provocative' Scientific American

Reviews

[kerrydarkeyes]

2.5 stars.

What I Liked:

The philosophical questions, the overarching story of a generational ship facing unanticipated problems.

What I Didn’t Like:

The narrative style, the overwhelming dumps of science, the distance from the human players.

Overall I was split but what I didn’t like distracted me more from enjoying what I did like, so I rounded down.

Way to long for what it is.
