Via Niall at TorqueControl comes two interviews with Kim Stanley Robinson: one in The Guardian which I’d seen and one at Shareable which I hadn’t seen.
In the Shareable interview KSR talks about utopias and how they are full of opportunities for Science Fiction. He argues that people who complain about utopias being boring are usually well off, and that he has shown that an interesting story can be written in a utopia with Pacific Edge.
Niall and I have had this conversation before: gushing about Pacific Edge, how wonderful it is and how it’s set in a utopia!
If you haven’t read the orange county trilogy by KSR you really should (they are a trilogy in theme, not story, so you can read them independently).
