Like a lot of KSR's work, New York 2140 takes its time to do what it does. If you've read other Robinson, you know that's a scathing critique of capitalism, neoliberalism, markets, and the politics that support them.
If you enjoy slow-paced, character-driven tales of people trying to get by in a world changed significantly by climate catastrophe, with a range of characters offering their perspectives on the story, it's for you.
