Finished reading: 2312 by Kim Stanley Robinson; 📚
While not quite as thought provoking as the Mars Trilogy or Ministry of the Future, which may have shifted some of my own politics, Kim Stanley Robinson still impressed me with his world building and his ability to combine science with politics.
In this book, I particularly enjoyed his descriptions of the terraria, or hollowed out asteroids spun to simulate gravity on their hollowed-out insides, and each populated with its own complete biome, complete with flora and fauna. Many were a love note to different biomes on earth.
