Varebeskrivelse
Stand: Brugt - men i god stand
New York 2140 is a 2017 climate fiction novel by American science fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson. The novel is set in a New York City that has been flooded and altered by rising water. The novel takes place primarily in a fictional future New York City, permanently inundated by two major rises in seawater levels caused by climate change.[1] Most of New York City is permanently underwater; however, people still live on the upper floors of buildings, much as in contemporary Venice.
Most of Manhattan south of 46th Street is flooded, and it has earned the nickname "SuperVenice". Several of the book's characters live in the MetLife Tower on 23rd Street, which the tenant association has outfitted with flood-prevention mechanisms and boat storage. Robinson chose to prominently feature the building, since it was designed to resemble the St. Mark's Campanile in Venice.[2]
Affluent people live in newly constructed skyscrapers in Uptown Manhattan and near The Cloisters, since both locations remain above water. Denver has replaced New York as the center of American finance and culture, and much of the United States has been deliberately abandoned by humans in order to make room for wildlife. Robinson has previously addressed sea level rise directly and indirectly in his works Aurora, 2312, and the Mars trilogy.
