The main characters are a family of three, fiery D. Two unnamed starships from Earth in 2545 are launched towards a nearby star system,Tau Ceti, only 11.9 light -years away, they will arrive in 170 years... even though traveling at one-tenth light speed, seven generations of people are born and die, most never seeing their ultimate destination... the greatest adventure ever attempted. The presence of printers capable of manufacturing most component parts of the ship, and feedstocks large enough to supply multiple copies of every critical component. I had never read any of Kim Stanley Robinson’s books before AURORA, and I think that it a good introduction to his work. #shoppingLens_feature_div{position:relative}#shoppingLens_feature_div

An interesting choice! Aurora, Kim Stanley Robinson’s latest novel, is his version of the generation ship science fiction novel.The book, in some ways, can also be seen as a companion piece to his Nebula Award winning 2312.That novel postulated a possible future three hundred years from now, when humanity has spread across the solar system. #wow-twister-loading-dim { But KSR has always been a Big Ideas writer more than anything else.
