Kim Stanley Robinson

Forfatterbiografi

Kim Stanley Robinson (født 23. marts 1952 i Waukegan, Illinois) er en amerikansk forfatter, kendt især for science fiction, hvor han ofte kombinerer spekulativ teknologi med politisk og samfundsmæssig analyse. Hans værker har typisk stor vægt på bæredygtighed, konflikter om ressourceforvaltning og menneskets rolle i mere eller mindre realistiske fremtidsmiljøer. Robinson blev særligt gennemslagskraftig med Mars-trilogien, der skildrer menneskelig kolonisering af planeten. I trilogien indgår Green Mars, som både blev nomineret til og senere modtog centrale genrepriser; netop den fortælling er blevet fremhævet i forbindelse med Hugo Awards. Hans øvrige produktion spænder fra romaner til kortprosa og vidner om en vedvarende interesse for klima, historie og alternative udviklingsforløb, ofte skrevet med et “realistisk” videnskabeligt udgangspunkt. Som forfatter har Robinson haft stor betydning for moderne science fiction, fordi han viser genrens muligheder for at behandle store globale temaer i skønlitterær form. Hans karriere rummer derfor både litterær anerkendelse og markante priser inden for den internationale science fiction- og fantasyverden.
