World-renowned science fiction novelist Kim Stanley Robinson is a world builder beyond compare. His political acumen makes his speculations feel alive in the present as well as laying out a not-so-radiant future. He is the author of more than 20 novels and the repeat winner of most major speculative fiction prizes; his celebrated trilogies include
Three Californias,
Mars Trilogy: Green, and
Blue. In an earlier life he was a PhD student of Fredric Jameson, and he wrote his dissertation on the novels of Philip K. Dick. He is also, as this interview shows, an acute taxonomist not just of SF but also of its roots in and its relation to a longer, larger realist tradition.

Novel is quite a recent genre preceded by Poetry and Drama. Poetry in its epic form and Frama in its tragic ruled rooster for a long time since Greek ages. But the 18th century started to trail-blaze a new genre which could supplant Poetry and Drama and it did do so because today, novel is most read and critiqued on genre of literature. There are three factors that encouraged novel reading and writing: Increasing number of reading Public, More leisure hour available to women at home because of the rising prosperity index, and printing and publishing of books by the independent printers and publisher. I should add that this independent publishing allowed writers of that time to write more freely as compared to the ones under the royal patronage.
