Kim Stanley Robinson is an American science fiction writer born in 1952, best-known for his award-winning Mars trilogy — a future history of the colonisation of Mars over the next couple of hundred years. He has written a number of other future / alternate historical novels and his work regularly delves into ecological and sociological themes; many of his novels appear to be the direct result of his own scientific fascinations, such as the 15 years of research and lifelong fascination with the planet Mars. Robinson's work has been labeled by reviewers as literary science fiction.
