Is a future green Utopia all that great when you’re young and in love?This Tor Essentials edition of Three Californias includes an introduction by Francis Spufford, bestselling author of Golden Hill and Red Plenty .“[Robinson] invites us to share his characters’ intensely personal, intensely local attachment to what they have.
