It is 2140.
The waters rose, submerging New York City.
But the residents adapted and it remained the bustling, vibrant metropolis it had always been. Though changed forever.
Every street became a canal. Every skyscraper an island.
Through the eyes of the varied inhabitants of one building, Kim Stanley Robinson shows us how one of our great cities will change with the rising tides.
And how we too will change.

Optimistic take on society after climate change's worst effects - more of this is needed
This book was pretty good. I enjoyed the overall plot. Each chapter is a different characters story and some of the characters are hard to like but the good ones make up for it in spades.
Hmmm. A decent story, following multiple characters, in an interesting locale. However there were sections of excessive wordage in the book that I found virtually unreadable. Despite that I enjoyed the book.
