‘Utopia is a Way of Saying We Could Do Better: Iain M. Banks and Kim Stanley Robinson in Conversation’

Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

Abstract

California’s Kim Stanley Robinson (b. 1952) and Scotland’s Iain M. Banks (b. 1954, d. 2013) are both well known for left-leaning political convictions and strong beliefs in social justice. Their novels encompass themes ranging from the ethics of planetary colonisation and the intricacies of counterfactual-history to detailed depictions of posthumanism and questions of moral legitimacy in times of conflict. On June 9th 2012, they came together at the British Library to discuss their work and how, in particular, they approached, challenged, and defended the concept of utopia.
