Kim Stanley Robinson is a prolific writer of science fiction, with most of his books having an ecological component, as well as exploring alternatives to capitalism. His works have been nominated for 29 awards, of which he was won the Hugo Award twice, the Nebula Award twice, a World Fantasy Award once, a John W. Campbell Memorial Award once, and the Locus Award six times. He was the guest of honor in 2010 at the 68th World Science Fiction Convention in Melbourne, Australia. Like his later Mars Trilogy, this book is set in a world in which humans have settled throughout the solar system. Unlike his other works, this has a strong emphasis on the role of the arts, in particular music, in human life. ISBN: 0-312-93467-X.
