... the Wind. I would probably have put them aside by now if I were not obliged to review them. For relief I'm continuing Fifty Degrees Below by Kim Stanley Robinson, a near-future ecological disaster bit of scifi and the middle book of a trilogy, and wonderful! Miss Mole by E.H. Young. Very ...

... some truth in it, from "desperate crisis, extinction event totally ignored" to "minor problems robustly dealt with." Fifty Degrees Below by Kim Stanley Robinson "...We like these kinds of challenges. Who wouldn't?"

... it so much the first time through. I'm still having a go at Gravity's Rainbow (took a break and have come back renewed), Fifty Degrees Below, and The Happy Foreigner (a fictionalized account of Enid Bagnold's experiences as a driver in France following WWI). Then I'm about to get into ...

Fifty Degrees Below and Sixty Days and Counting are the other two titles in that trilogy. Robinson may preach a bit in his novels but I still found the trilogy interesting examples of the "What If" school of science fiction. Thought-provoking.

... will have such. There are books set in that 5-10 year range that others have called Sci Fi (Kim Stanley Robinson's Fifty Degrees Below springs to mind, although heck if I can remember whether there was an actual /date/ given there) that I would not have on first glance. On second, I ...

... my favorite there, and I actually began the series with that one. His Manta's Gift is another fav of mine. Stanley's Fifty Degrees Below was for sale here in Romania, another book 2. If you enjoyed the mars series you might like this too. Guess you've read Brin's Startide Rising et ...

Fifty Degrees Below read to me like an anthropology textbook. It was also a bit thin on plot. From what I remember of Forty Signs of Rain, the plot seemed to jump about a bit - the Khembalis, Frank breaking to the NFS, etc. Mind you, it's been a whiel since I read that one.

... "Science in the Capitol" trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson -- specifically Forty Signs of Rain which I've already finished, Fifty Degrees Below which I'm in the middle of, and finally Sixty Days and Counting. The three really ought to have been tightly edited and then published as one massive ...

I'm reading a recent trilogy of titles: Forty Signs of Rain Fifty Degrees Below Sixty Days and Counting The three ought really to have been a single tightly edited volume, but as a meditation on our current environment and the calamity of climate change on that daily environment, it's ...

Finished Fifty Degrees Below by Kim Stanley Robinson. Good, albeit a bit didactic at times. Lots of interesting stuff in it. Of course, if you're stupid enough to believe Global Warming is some kind of lefty conspiracy to rob God-fearing capitalists of their hard-earned profits, you'll ...

Finished Template by Matthew Hughes and wrote my review. Now reading fifty Degrees Below by Kim Stanley Robinson, and it's a bit like an anthropology and global warming text book with a plot. Good, though.

... (Red Mars, Green Mars, and Blue Mars), and his recently completed Climate Collapse series (Forty Signs of Rain, Fifty Degrees Below, and Sixty days and Counting). I would also explore Cory Doctorow's Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom which uses "reputation points" instead of ...

I'm currently reading Kim Stanley Robinson's Fifty Degrees Below, which is a sequel to Forty Signs of Rain and is followed by Sixty Days and Counting. We're supposed to list five? How about The Fourth Bear by Jasper Fforde, and The Basic Eight by Daniel Handler?

... climate change skeptic. On the same topic, but more serious, is Kim Stanley Robinson's trilogy, Forty Signs of Rain, Fifty Degrees Below and Sixty Days and Counting. The Children's War is a "What if the Nazis won World War II" book. I don't think I'm imagining that the author is at ...

I'm in the middle of Fifty Degrees Below by Kim Stanley Robinson, but I've put that aside for a while. Right now I'm rereading Spindle's End by Robin McKinley. I picked it up because I couldn't decide what I wanted to read, and it was unsatisfying at first (because I didn't really feel ...

I'm reading the Other Wind by Ursula K. Le Guin and Fifty Degrees Below by Kim Stanley Robinson. Fifty Degrees Below is longer and denser, so I've put it aside for a bit to read the shorter and slightly lighter Earthsea book. They're both very good, though - this is my first time ...

I am reading Fifty Degrees Below by Kim Stanley Robinson, which gets slightly confusing at times because I recently finished Earth by David Brin and the two are quite similar in some ways and deal with many of the same issues. And are also written in a rather similar style. So I keep ...
