Title: Pointless remix of other KSR works, without a plot
Review: What would you would get if you took all the interesting and exciting things out of the Mars Trilogy? You'd get Antarctica, a book with no plot about people who go on hikes and romanticize feral living. Or you'd get the "Science In the The Capital" trilogy, which is basically the same thing.Kim Stanley Robinson is so frustrating. His Mars Trilogy was so good, so epic, so exactly what I want from hard near-future sci-fi. It was too good, because I keep reading his other works expecting similar genius, and they are all exactly alike, and all terrible in the same ways.After 300 pages I gave up on Antarctica. I am very close to giving up on KSR.
