New York 2140 by Kim Stanley Robinson ★★★★★

Blue white and black graphic image of a woman proudly walking with a cityscape background the caption reads I am in the world to change the world
“If our government tries to back the banks instead of us, then we elect a different government. We pretend that democracy is real, and that will make it real.” 

Substantially better upon reread! I loved it, I had fun, it did not even feel long! 

This was collegiate science fiction: a textbook of inspirational politics and economics with lively likable characters.

A true work of Solarpunk it depicts small New York communities banding together against a tidal wave of global greed to better their circumstances. 

This New Venice New York is an ecologically sensitive place as essentials, food and power, are cheaper sourced locally.

I swear this will not be my last KSR!
