In 'The Years of Rice and Salt', Kim Stanley Robinson presents us with a fascinating uchronia. What if the Black Death had wiped out almost all of Europe in the 14th century? Robinson explores a world where Islam and China become the dominant powers, while India and the American civilizations struggle to maintain their independence. Through multiple reincarnations of two characters, B. and K., we witness seven centuries of alternative history, where a new political, social, and religious order is forged. An outstanding novel that combines superb narrative with imaginative historical speculation.
