A review by mjfmjfmjf
Red Moon by Kim Stanley Robinson

4.0

A slow start. I read 25 pages and put it down and had to start back from the beginning a month or two later. It's a character study but tons of stuff happens. And our 3 main characters really don't make a lot of sense. Well actually the online travel show ex-poet super-connected feng shui master makes a certain amount of sense. And a re-write of [b:The Moon is a Harsh Mistress|16690|The Moon is a Harsh Mistress|Robert A. Heinlein|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1348768309s/16690.jpg|1048525] complete with newly formed AI. So there's a lot going on in this one. But it is readable and it is fully written - it doesn't seem to be a sketch. And it has some interesting tech and interesting politics. It is near-future which is always risky and is also right now. Not bad, perhaps the best Robinson I've read in awhile. Reviewed from an ARC - Advance Reading Copy.
