Established in 2025, the purpose of the new organisation was simple: To advocate for the world's future generations and to protect all living creatures, present and future. It soon became known as the Ministry for the Future, and this is its story.

From legendary science fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson comes a vision of climate change unlike any ever imagined.

Told entirely through fictional eye-witness accounts, The Ministry For The Future is a masterpiece of the imagination, the story of how climate change will affect us all over the decades to come.

Its setting is not a desolate, post-apocalyptic world, but a future that is almost upon us - and in which we might just overcome the extraordinary challenges we face.

It is a novel both immediate and impactful, desperate and hopeful in equal measure, and it is one of the most powerful and original books on climate change ever written.

Kim Stanley Robinson returns with his most ambitious novel to date. Charting our future over the coming century, and set against a background of political, economic and environmental upheaval, it is a work of brilliant imagination and powerful ideas from one of the most important science fiction writers of our time.

A panoramic epic, the best science fiction-nonfiction novel I've ever read
