Kim Stanley Robinson Forty Signs of Rain Reviewed by Rick Kleffel
But science itself -- that nebulous practice of studying the real world and writing down what is observed, with an eye towards understanding the principles that move the world -- science itself is often absent.
There are exceptions of course, and Kim Stanley Robinson offers a fine example of science fiction as fiction about the process of science itself in 'Forty Signs of Rain'.

 Pacific Edge, Kim Stanley Robinson's Orange County Utopia
Kim Stanley Robinson's Pacific Edge [Tor, New York 1990], the hopeful end-story of his Orange County trilogy, takes on the daunting task of creating a Utopian fiction for post-mod sensibilities, and setting it in the quintessential Southern California county to boot.
As with others of Kim Stanley Robinson's books, things are often a bit too neat and rational, but this is a quibble.
His nod to New Utopian Man has an awful lot of really attractive, intelligent, caring people having well-structured arguments and astounding and sharing sex; perhaps this is just a necessary part of writing Utopian fiction.
