Editing Kim Stanley Robinson (section)

===Ecological sustainability===
Virtually all of Robinson's novels have an ecological component; sustainability is one of his primary themes (a strong contender for the primary theme would be the nature of a plausible utopia). The ''Orange County'' trilogy is about the way in which the technological intersects with the natural, highlighting the importance of keeping the two in balance. In the ''Mars'' trilogy, one of the principal divisions among the population of Mars is based on dissenting views on [[terraforming]]. Colonists debate whether or not the barren Martian landscape has a similar ecological or spiritual value when compared with a living ecosphere like Earth's. ''[[Forty Signs of Rain]]'' has an entirely ecological thrust, taking [[global warming]] as its principal subject.{{Citation needed|date=April 2025}}
