'Polymathic, visionary brilliance' - FINANCIAL TIMES
Winner of the 2013 Nebula Award for Best Novel
The year is 2312. Scientific advances have opened gateways to an extraordinary future. Earth is no longer our only home; new habitats have been created throughout the solar system, on moons, planets and in between. But in 2312, a sequence of events will force humanity to confront our past, present and future.
The first event takes place on Mercury, in the city of Terminator, itself a miracle of engineering on an unprecedented scale. For Swan Er Hong, it will change her life. Once a designer of worlds, now Swan will be led into a plot to destroy them.
2312 is a bold vision of humanity's future and a compelling portrait of those individuals who will shape its events.

Genius in realising the humanist dilemma of living in space. Delicious inventiveness in colouring awe inspiring worlds; fouled by the familiar failings of our species. An insightful journey and perceivable outcome of our human Odyssey On & Off-world.
