New York 2140 - Kim Stanley Robinson

New York 2140 is equal parts J.G. Ballard and John Dos Passos: a story about tight-knit communities living day-by-day in flooded New York where capitalism has run amok (just like real life!) Packed with fascinating ideas (water polo sumo! How to protect your building from amped-up hurricanes! Submarine living!) Robinson's novel is both survival guide for the near future and an impassioned call to action.
