There are at least three novels on this list I’ve never heard of, let alone read. Hunting them down might be a challenge.

I’m still in awe of Robinson, and deeply regret not being able to string two sentences together when I met him while interning at NSF.

He is in the top two of the all-time list of great SF writers named Robinson.
