๐Ÿš€ Sci-Fi Sunday is extra long this weekโ€ฆ and for very good reason!

Today we're talking about Pete's favourite author: Kim Stanley Robinson. ๐Ÿ“šโค๏ธ

You might know him from The Ministry for the Future, but Pete's recommendation is to go one step further and pick up 2312. ๐Ÿ‘€

Set across the Solar System in the future, 2312 is an ambitious, imaginative sci-fi epic packed with big ideas, incredible world-building and plenty to get you thinking.

So if you've enjoyed The Ministry for the Future or you're looking to discover more from one of Pete's favourite authors, this is definitely one to add to your TBR. ๐Ÿš€

And if Pete says Kim Stanley Robinson is his favourite authorโ€ฆ who are we to argue? ๐Ÿ˜‚

Have you read 2312? Or what's your favourite Kim Stanley Robinson book? Let us know in the comments! ๐Ÿ‘‡
