The Ministry for the Future

Established in 2025, the purpose of the new organization 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.

Told entirely through fictional eyewitness accounts, The Ministry for the Future is 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.

From legendary science fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson comes a vision of climate change unlike any ever imagined. It is a masterpiece of the imagination. It is a novel both immediate and impactful, desperate and hopeful in equal measure, and one of the most powerful and original books on climate change ever written.
