In the novels of his Science in the Capital series, Kim Stanley Robinson explores how a United States experiencing radical climate change could produce a reform of white racial identity. This project is accomplished within a fiction dramatizing the relationship between the ordinary practice of science and its institutional position in American politics. The narrative prompts a single white-male scientist to reexamine his intellectual and social investments, allowing the author to recast the kind of social and political work that science can do. The potential for a post-capitalist subject who is differently raced in relation to the land and to others is proposed
