The Gold Coast
The Gold Coast by Kim Stanley Robinson is a 1988 Science & Technology book written by TED speaker Kim Stanley Robinson, paired here with the talk they gave.
2027: Southern California is a developer's dream gone mad, an endless sprawl of condos, freeways, and malls. Jim McPherson, the affluent son of a defense contractor, is a young man lost in a world of fast cars, casual sex, and designer drugs. But his descent in to the shadowy underground of industrial terrorism brings him into a shattering confrontation with his family, his goals, and his ideals. The Gold Coast is the second novel in Robinson's Three Californias trilogy.
