Galileo's Dream
Robinson, Kim Stanley
At the heart of a provocative narrative that
stretches from Renaissance Italy to the moons of Jupiter is the father
of modern science: Galileo Galilei.
To the inhabitants of the
Jovian moons, Galileo is a revered figure whose actions will influence
the subsequent history of the human race. From the summit of their
distant future, a charismatic renegade named Ganymede travels to the
past to bring Galileo forward in an attempt to alter history and ensure
the ascendancy of science over religion. And if that means Galileo must
be burned at the stake, so be it.
From Galileo's heresy trial to
the politics of far-future Jupiter, Kim Stanley Robinson illuminates the
parallels between a distant past and an even more remote future—in the
process celebrating the human spirit and calling into question the
convenient truths of our own moment in time.
