Another sweeping, epic, novel from Kim Stanley Robinson, this time imagining the near future as climate change becomes more and more problematic, and humanity is forced to deal with it.

The Ministry for the Future is a cli-fi novel by American science fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson published in 2020. Set in the near future, the novel follows a subsidiary body, established under the Paris Agreement, whose mission is to advocate for the world’s future generations of citizens as if their rights are as valid as the present generation’s. While they pursue various ambitious projects, the effects of climate change are determined to be the most consequential. The plot primarily follows Mary Murphy, the head of the titular Ministry for the Future, and Frank May, an American aid worker traumatized by experiencing a deadly heat wave in India. Many chapters are devoted to other (mostly anonymous) characters’ accounts of future events, as well as their ideas about ecology, economics, and other subjects.

I’m uploading this because there does not seem to be a chapterized version available here. One MP3 for each chapter, each file is carefully named and tagged.
