His work has been translated into twenty-four languages. Robinson has won numerous awards, including the Hugo Award for Best Novel, the Nebula Award for Best Novel and the World Fantasy Award. The Atlantic has called Robinson’s work “the gold standard of realistic, and highly literary, science-fiction writing.” According to an article in The New Yorker, Robinson is “generally acknowledged as one of the greatest living science-fiction writers.” The Ministry for the Future (2020) is a masterpiece of the imagination, using fictional eyewitness accounts to tell the story of how climate change will affect us all.
