The plot of the story was kind of silly, and the math, while sensible enough, was kind of irrelevant, and yet I did enjoy the story. I think this is because Stanley Robinson has a good way of talking about seeing and feeling; the thunderstorm was particularly good. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The Blind Geometer by Kim Stanley Robinson: A blind mathematician in nearish-future Washington, DC, is approached by a colleague to aid in a strange puzzle in the shape of a woman who draws esoteric geometric diagrams and talks in jumbled phrases. The intrigue is less interesting than the experiences of the blind narrator. It's a novel way of telling a story, since you can never mention what anything looks like. This story was my introduction to Robinson, and I think I might pick up more of his stuff.
Return from Rainbow Bridge by Kim Stanley Robinson: This bonus novella tells the tale of a teenage boy in the 1960s and his strange experiences with Paul, a mysterious Navajo Indian friend (though in this story it's spelled Navaho). It's not strictly science fiction, but it's a fun and slightly spooky story that rekindled my desire to visit Arizona again.
The New Atlantis by Ursula K. Le Guin: I love Le Guin, but I had a terrible time following this one. I got that they were living in a strange fascist state, and there was talk about new continents rising in the oceans, but all the italicized parts completely lost me, and I have no idea what was going on at the end. It felt almost like it was building up to something and then just sort of stopped. ( )
