The dazzling novel from the acclaimed author of the groundbreaking MARS trilogy follows Galileo on an amazing journey from the dawn of the modern world to a future on the verge of a completely new scientific breakthrough.‘One of the finest working novelists in any genre’
GUARDIAN
'If I had to choose one writer whose work will set the standard for science fiction in the future, it would be Kim Stanley Robinson’
NEW YORK TIMES
Praise for GALILEO’S DREAM:
‘Thought-provoking and moving in equal measureRobinson captures the joy of scientific discovery better than anyone else working today … Elegant, charming, funny and profound’
GUARDIAN
'A brilliant work of imagination, drawing together the “two cultures” in a harmonious marriage of science and art'
THE TIMES
‘A triumph, with Robinson's gifts for characterisation and world-building firmly to the fore. His Galileo is wonderful: brilliant, irascible, sometimes hateful, and always fascinating. The finale is both stirring and melancholic, and a fitting tribute to science's most famous iconoclast’
