Kim Stanley Robinson
Author · 41 books
Kim Stanley Robinson is an American science fiction writer, probably best known for his award-winning Mars trilogy. His work delves into ecological and sociological themes regularly, and many of his novels appear to be the direct result of his own scientific fascinations, such as the 15 years of research and lifelong fascination with Mars which culminated in his most famous work. He has, due to his fascination with Mars, become a member of the Mars Society. Robinson's work has been labeled by reviewers as "literary science fiction". Excerpted from Wikipedia.
