The wild shore -- The gold coast -- Pacific edge.
"Tor Essentials presents new editions of science fiction and fantasy titles of proven merit and lasting value, with each volume introduced by an appropriate literary figure. Before Kim Stanley Robinson published the international bestsellers Red Mars, Green Mars, and Blue Mars, he made his reputation as one of SF's most trenchant thinkers with his Three Californias trilogy: three science fiction novels set in three different possible futures of Orange County, California. The Wild Shore is post-apocalyptic; The Gold Coast is manic if-this-goes-on future reminiscent of the work of Philip K. Dick; and Pacific Edge is a visionary green utopia Together, they form a whole that illuminates, enchants, and inspires. This new Tor Essentials edition of Three Californias includes an introduction by Costa Award-winning novelist and literary journalist Francis Spufford, author of Red Plenty and the bestselling Golden Hill"-- Provided by publisher.
Contents: The wild shore. -- The gold coast. -- Pacific edge.

Review for the wild shore
submitted by Kitty4777 on June 12, 2023, 11:58pm
Interesting but more in the vein of sci fi being a future dystopia versus sci fi as technology driven. Not bad, but not amazing. It wasn't hard to read because the characters are well formed, and the writing is well done.
I'm somewhat interested in where this will go, so we will see if I ever finish it! (I don't think the other two won awards).
