Description
In a not-so-distant 2027, Orange County stretches into an endless gold-lit sprawl of highways, malls, and condo towers—an engineered landscape where comfort and control feel inseparable. Following young Jim McPherson as he wrestles with anger, loyalty, and purpose, the novel moves between his own acts of resistance and the bureaucratic grind surrounding his father’s work tied to the industrial-military complex. Across a series of tightly focused chapters, Kim Stanley Robinson captures how people try to make meaning—and how systems fight back—through sabotage, dissent, and the search for a livable future. Blending near-future realism with a distinctly human, politically charged sensibility, this installment of the “Three Californias” trilogy explores capitalism, militarization, and the uneasy costs of building (or breaking) order.
