This is Robinson's utopian novel in the triptych. Set in 2065, in Orange County (again, of course), our protagonist Kevin Clairborne is in a battle to save an undeveloped hilltop in the town of El Modena from development.

Not was much happens in this one compared to the first two. There are council meetings, zoning debates, and softball games. Still I really enjoyed this. Robinson built an interesting world and is an excellent writer IMO.
