There is a group of characters who live in one of the buildings in Madison Square, including the building manager, a police detective, a social worker, a couple of people in the finance industry, a cloud star who’s clothes are likely to disappear, and a couple of boys who don’t, technically, live there, in addition to several others.īefore I go into what I liked about the book, my major complaint is that there are multiple chapters which is just the author explaining the economics of the situation and why it’s a bad thing. New York City is still the place to live. Since many of the buildings are skyscrapers, or at least taller than the sea rise, people still live there. That leaves a good portion of New York City, including all of Downton, underwater. In this future, several events happened that caused ice melting and the sea to rise fifty feet. Most of the action, there are a couple of scenes that do take place outside of New York.
The novel is set in New York City in the year 2140 and the action takes place over the next 3 years. It’s an entertaining read, with only one, although large, problem, and it definitely belongs on this list. However, it is a comparatively quick read, so don’t let that stop you. Of all of the Hugo and Nebula award finalists for 2018, New York 2140 is the longest.
