The Gold Coast: Three Californias | Kim Stanley Robinson

1 post | 2 read | 3 to read

2027: Southern California is a developer's dream gone mad, an endless sprawl of condos, freeways, and malls. Jim McPherson, the affluent son of a defense contractor, is a young man lost in a world of fast cars, casual sex, and designer drugs. But his descent in to the shadowy underground of industrial terrorism brings him into a shattering confrontation with his family, his goals, and his ideals. The Gold Coast is the second novel in Robinson's Three Californias trilogy. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

The Gold Coast: Three Californias | Kim Stanley Robinson

pick

The Gold Coast (1988) is book two in KSR's triptych. Set in 2027, Orange County CA is full of shopping malls, industrial development, massive residential buildings and the autopia - multi-level electric/magnetic roads filled with programmable self-driving cars. It is a concrete jungle.
I thought this novel came together nicely at the end, in a similar way the first novel of this triptych did. I liked it but not as much as The Wild Shore.
