The Years of Rice and Salt is an alternate history novel by American science fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson, published in 2002. The novel explores how world history might have been different if the Black Death plague had killed 99 percent of Europe's population, instead of a third as it did in reality. Divided into ten parts, the story spans hundreds of years, from the army of the Muslim conqueror Timur to the 21st century, with Europe being re-populated by Muslim pioneers, the indigenous peoples of the Americas forming a league to resist Chinese and Muslim invaders, and a 67-year-long world war being fought primarily between Muslim states and the Chinese and their allies. While the ten parts take place in different times and places, they are connected by a group of characters that are reincarnated into each time but are identified to the reader by the first letter of their name being consistent in each life.
At the time of publication in 2002, science fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson was 49 years old and living in Davis, California. He had conceived of the premise for The Years of Rice and Salt in the 1970s while thinking about what alternate history scenario would result in "the biggest change that would still work in terms of comparison to our history".[1] He subsequently developed an interest in China and in Buddhism, which he would study for this project.[2]
Robinson's only other alternate history story prior to this project was the short story "The Lucky Strike" (1984),[lower-alpha 1] where the Enola Gay crashes in a training exercise and the secondary crew must complete the Hiroshima bombing.[3]
Robinson also wrote an essay titled "A Sensitive Dependence on Initial Conditions" (1991),[lower-alpha 2] comparing different theories of history and laws of science, such as the covering law model, to explain how alternate histories can be arrived at, using "The Lucky Strike" as an example.[lower-alpha 3]
He explored the idea of non-Western influences creating a new culture while working on his Mars trilogy, which involved a heavy Muslim influence in a Martian colony.[2] The Mars trilogy gave Robinson a reputation for quality of writing and a richness of detail comparable to James Michener,[4] as well as winning him a Nebula Award for Red Mars (1993) and two Hugo and Locus Awards for Green Mars (1994) and Blue Mars (1996).[5] Robinson followed the Mars trilogy with the novel Antarctica (1997), which won an Alex Award, and two short story collections, The Martians (1999) and Vinland the Dream (2001), before publishing The Years of Rice and Salt.
Plot
The story is divided into ten parts.
Book One: Awake to Emptiness
Bold and Psin, scouts in Timur's army, discover a Magyar city where all the inhabitants have died from a plague. Timur turns his army around and orders the scouting party executed to avoid the plague, but Bold escapes and wanders through the dead lands of Eastern Europe, encountering only one lone native. Upon reaching the sea he is captured by Turkish Muslim slave-traders and sold into Zheng He's Chinese treasure fleet. Bold befriends a young African slave, named Kyu, whom he cares for after the Chinese castrate him. In China, they are kept as kitchen slaves until escaping and eventually making their way north to Beijing where they find work at the palace of Zhu Gaozhi, heir to the Yongle Emperor. The vengeful Kyu hates the Chinese for what they have done to him, inciting violence between the eunuchs and the Confucian administrative officials until they assassinate him.
Book Two: The Haj in the Heart
In Mughal India, a Hindu girl named Kokila poisons her husband's father and brother after discovering their plot to defraud the village. She is executed for her crime, but is reincarnated as a tiger that befriends a man named Bistami, a Sufi mystic of Persian origin. Bistami goes on to become a judge for Mughal EmperorAkbar, but later falls into his disfavour, being exiled to Mecca. Bistami spends one year in Mecca before travelling overland to the Maghreb and Iberia (Al-Andalus). He then joins a caravan led by Sultan Mawji and his wife, Katima, who seek to leave Al-Andalus and found a new city on the other side of the Pyrenees, beyond the control of the Caliph of Al-Andalus. They build the city of Baraka on the abandoned former site of Bayonne, France, and create a model society in which Sultana Katima is highly influential. Katima seeks to change the Islamic religion to create equality between men and women, by rejecting the Hadiths and relying only on her interpretation of the Quran. She rules the community after her husband dies (something not allowed in normal Islamic practice), but the Caliph of Al-Andalus eventually hears of their "heresy" and sends an army against them. The community flees further to the north, where they build a new city named Nsara (near Nantes, France) and are able to defend it from further aggression in later years.
Book Three: Ocean Continents
The Wanli Emperor launches an invasion against Nippon (Japan) but the huge fleet is swept out to sea by the Kuroshio Current and they are set adrift on the unexplored Pacific Ocean. The fleet hopes to be brought back to China eventually by the great circular currents of the Pacific, but they accidentally discover the New World. The sailors make landfall on the West coast of North America and make contact with the peaceful Miwok people, but quickly leave once Admiral Kheim discovers they have inadvertently infected the indigenous people with devastating diseases. They sail south where they meet another civilization rich in gold. There they narrowly escape being ritually sacrificed by using their flintlock firearms, something the natives have never seen before. They eventually return to China and tell the Emperor that he could easily conquer this new land and gain its great wealth.
Book Four: The Alchemist
A 17th-century alchemist named Khalid from Samarkand attempts to fool the Khan into believing that he has discovered the Philosopher's stone, but his fraud is uncovered and his hand is severed as punishment. Khalid becomes depressed and disenchanted with alchemy and decides to destroy all his Alchemical books. His friend Iwang, a Tibetan Buddhist mathematician, and son-in-law Bahram, a Sufi blacksmith, instead convince him to test the claims in the books. They devote themselves to practical demonstrations and experiments that greatly improve knowledge of various aspects of physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, and weaponry, and in the process create the scientific method. Their discoveries create interest amongst the religious madrasahs of the city, many of whom also go along with the new fashion of building and testing scientific apparatuses. But most of all, they catch the eye of the Khan's powerful advisor, who sees in their inventions the possibility of great military technology, to fight the rising Chinese threat to the East.
Book Five: Warp and Weft
A former samurai, fleeing from the Chinese conquest of Japan, travels to the New World to meet the Iroquois people. They name him "Fromwest" and make him a chief of their confederacy. He helps organize their society into a larger defensive alliance of all the North American tribes, and shows them how to make their own guns with which to resist the Chinese and Muslim colonizers.
Book Six: Widow Kang
Book Six follows the life of Chinese widow Kang Tongbi during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor. She takes in a poor Buddhist monk, Bao Ssu, and his son whom she finds scavenging, but the monk is wrongly implicated in a series of queue cuttings and dies in prison. Later, Kang meets a Hui Muslim scholar named Ibrahim ibn Hasam and together they discover it is possible to remember their past lives. They marry and move to Lanzhou in western China, where they undertake work to try to reconcile Islamic and Confucian beliefs. Kang creates and collects works of proto-feminist poetry and becomes a known writer. There is a Muslim rebellion in the region due to the Qing intolerance of new Islamic sects coming from the west, but the revolt is crushed with massive force.
Book Seven: The Age of Great Progress
In the 19th century, war rages between the Ottoman Empire and the Indian state of Travancore. The Indians have overthrown the Mughals and the Safavids and have now developed steam engines, ironclad warships, and military balloons. Using these new weapons, they sail to Kostantiniyye and easily defeat the Ottomans. A Muslim Armenian doctor named Ismail ibn Mani al-Dir, who had served the Ottoman Sultan, is captured and sent to Travancore, where he happily joins the hospital of Travancore and begins work in anatomy and physiology. Ismail eventually meets their ruler, the Kerala of Travancore, who aims to drive out the Muslim invaders and unify India into a democratic confederation.
Later, during the Xianfeng Emperor's reign, in the Chinese colony known as Gold Mountain, the Great Flood of 1862 forces the evacuation of Chinese and Japanese settlers alike. The Japanese had originally fled to the new world to escape Chinese oppression in their homeland, but find themselves once again under the Chinese yoke. A displaced Japanese slave, Kiyoaki, and a pregnant Chinese refugee, Peng-ti, manage to flee to the great coastal city of Fangzhang.[6] There Kiyoaki joins a secret Japanese freedom movement that is being aided by Travancore, with Ismail acting as a liaison.

Book Eight:War of the Asuras
Book Eight is set in the 20th century,during the "Long War". The world has become divided into three large alliances:the Chinese Empire and its colonies,the fractured Muslim world (Dar al-Islam),and the democratic Indian and Hodenosaunee Leagues. At the outbreak of war the Muslim states put aside their differences and unite to fight the larger threat of China. The Indian and Hodenosaunee Leagues stay neutral at first,but eventually ally with China,as they see the Muslims as their greater enemy. The war drags on for decades causing major changes in the societies involved,with rapid industrialisation,mass conscription and mass casualties. Being the first industrial war,new devastating weapons and methods are employed,such as trench warfare,chemical warfare and air strikes.
The story follows Chinese officers,Kuo,Bai and Iwa as they desperately fight in the trenches of the Gansu Corridor,where the ground has been blasted down to bedrock by sixty years of bombardments. Kuo is killed by a shell that penetrates their bunker. Bai and Iwa are ordered to move with their company south through Tibet to support their Indian allies. At a pass in the Himalayas they witness Muslim artillery blasting the top of Mount Everest down so that the tallest mountain in the world will be in Muslim lands. After extreme difficulties they manage to breach the Muslim defences at the pass and the Chinese army pours through to join forces with the Indians,turning the course of the war in their favour. Bai is plagued by visions of his dead friend Kuo,who tells him that none of this is happening and that he is already dead,killed by the shell earlier.
Book Nine:Nsara
A young Muslim woman named Budur and her aunt Idelba are living in Europe in the aftermath of the Long War. Together,they escape Budur's highly traditional family in the Alps and move to the more liberal and cosmopolitan city of Nsara. There they stay at a zawiyya,a refuge for women,Idelba restarts her work in physics and Budur enrolls in university where she studies history. The history class is presided over by Kirana,a feminist lecturer who questions everything about Muslim society. Budur becomes close to Kirana who opens her eyes to the injustices that women face and how they can seek emancipation and liberation (the two have a brief affair).

Life in Nsara becomes increasingly difficult as they face the effects of defeat in the war,such as hyperinflation,food shortages and strikes. In many countries this leads to governments being overthrown in coups of various kinds. In Nsara itself,the military attempts to overthrow the government,causing Budur and Kirana to start mass street protests against. Eventually the Hodenosaunee League intervene by sending a fleet from their naval base at Orkney to Nsara,insisting that the military relinquish power,which they do.
Throughout this,Idelba has been making a disturbing discovery from her work on atomic physics. She concludes that it is possible to make a devastating weapon from nuclear chain reactions and fears that the military will try to create such bombs and restart the war. The government learns of her work and raids the Zawiyya to get hold of her papers,but Budur manages to hide them. Idelba eventually dies of radiation poisoning from the materials she was working with and leaves all her research to Budur,who keeps her secret and eventually manages to organize an international conference of scientists to discuss the issue. At the meeting in Isfahan,Iran,they agree that none of them will work on the creation of nuclear weapons,and they start an international scientific movement to break down barriers between cultures. They even create a new scientific calendar to be used by the whole world,with its year zero set from the time of the conference.
Book Ten:The First Years
Bao Xinhua is a revolutionary in China,who works under the leadership of his friend,Kung Jianguo. Bao and Kung successfully overthrow the oppressive Chinese government,but Kung is killed on the cusp of their victory. Deeply depressed and disillusioned,Bao leaves China and begins a voyage around the world. Bao marries and raises two children before accepting a diplomatic post in Myanmar. Eventually,Bao's wife dies,and he begins to wander once again. Bao spends time studying with a comrade from his revolutionary years named Isao Zhu,who poses many macrohistorical questions about the world in which they live. In his later years,Bao moves to Fangzhang to teach history and the philosophy of history,and at the end of the novel,he meets a new student named Kali.
Style,themes and genre
The novel is divided into ten chapters that each act as a short story,linked by the use of a group of people who appear in each story. After spending time in bardo,the group (or jāti) are reincarnated into different times and places.[7][8] While characters in each story are unique,they share some characteristics with their previous incarnations and are linked,for convenience,by the first letter of their name. The characters whose names begin with the letter K are "combative,imprudent and prone to getting himself (or herself) killed"[9] and "striking blows against injustice that typically lead to more suffering".[10] The B characters are "more comfortable in the world,meliorist and optimistic"[9] and "survivors,nurturing friends and family through bad times and patiently waiting for something better".[10] The I characters are "the ones who care,who follow the other two,and may be necessary if their works are to flourish,but who tend to the domestic and always find the world worth loving."[11] The style of writing also changes every chapter to reflect the style of writing associated with the culture being depicted. For example,the first chapter is written similarly to Monkey's Journey to the West[12] and a later chapter incorporates postmodernism.[13] Also,later chapters take on metafictional elements,with characters discussing the nature of history,whether it is cyclical or linear,whether they believe in reincarnation,and feelings that some people are intrinsically linked.[7][9]
Robinson incorporated utopian themes in his previous works but reviewers were divided on whether The Years of Rice and Salt qualified as a utopian story.[14] Those that did call the world described in the story as utopian cited the story's illustration of progress.[12][15] However,those that wrote The Years of Rice and Salt was not a utopian story say that the world history presented is not necessarily better or worse than the real history,just different.[16] Robinson calls himself a "utopian novelist" in that he claims "all science fiction has a utopian element,in that it tends to say that what we do now matters and will have consequences".[2] Several other themes were identified by reviewers. Robinson had previously used the theme of memory (or identity) and incorporates it into this story with characters who are reincarnated versions of previous characters and who only recognize each other while in the bardo,but sometimes feel a connection between themselves while on earth.[2] The reviewer in The Globe and Mail identified feminism and "struggles over the nature of Islam" as recurring themes.[17]
Alternate history
...the complaints about alternative histories being "too much like" our history are always balanced, sometimes in the same commentator, by complaints that it is "too different to be possible," and I have concluded that really one can't win: alternatives to our world history are in some deep sense unthinkable. The alternative history then becomes an exercise in pushing at that limit and always asking "why" to one's responses concerning "plausibility" or the like.
The Years of Rice and Salt belongs to the alternate history subgenre of speculative fiction. The novel starts at the point of divergence with Timur turning his army away from Europe where the Black Death killed 99 percent of Europe's population, instead of a third. Robinson explores world history from that point in AD 1405 (807 AH) to about AD 2045 (1467 AH) with Mughal EmperorAkbar being the last character with a real-world counterpart.[13]
Robinson's take on alternate history is that because it "is set in the same lawful universe as ours, its science must be the same [and] because its people have the same basic human needs, their societies resemble ours."[10] Therefore, despite the difference in who specifically is there, "the great majority of humanity [is] doing their work, and that work would tend to forge along at a certain pace as people tried to solve the problems of making themselves more comfortable in this world."[2]
While most alternate histories use the Great Man theory of history, focusing on leaders, wars, and big events, Robinson writes more about social history, similar to the Annales School of historical theory and Marxist historiography, focusing on the lives of ordinary people living in their time and place.[2] This is reflected in the title of the novel, The Years of Rice and Salt, which refers to the everyday chores of raising a family, often performed by women, despite the politics and wars of men.[11]
Reviewers noted this allows for the "history [to be] experienced by readers on a human scale"[18] and "an implicit but thorough rebuke to the kind of war-gaming determinism that most alternate histories embody."[9] The novel has characters that explore subjects like philosophy, theology, history, and scientific theory.[19][20]
Publication and reception
Robinson takes advantage of the romance inherent in the idea of reincarnation; it's a lovely, seductive concept, and it adds much mystical texture to the narrative. But that does not mean the author is any less tough-minded here than in his other books. Indeed, The Years of Salt and Rice, for all of its fantastic elements, is essentially a character-driven — which is to say, literary — series of novelettes.
Released in March 2002, the book was published in North America by Bantam Books and in the United Kingdom by HarperCollins. The paperback was released in 2003 along with a Spanish translation. In the subsequent years, other translated versions were published, in French, Polish, Chinese, and Hungarian.
The novel was well received by critics who variously called it "thoughtful",[4][7][12][21] "realistic",[3][4] and "rich".[4][9][16] In Publishers Weekly, the reviewers called it a "highly realistic and credible alternate history",[3] and in the School Library Journal, Christine Menefee called it "an addictive, surprising, and suspenseful novel".[18] The Library Journal "highly recommended" it, saying that its "superb storytelling and imaginative historic speculation make [it] a priority choice for all SF and general fiction collections".[22] The critic at Kirkus Reviews found it "overlong, but blessed with moments of wry and gentle beauty".[23] Likewise, Roz Kaveney stated that "if there is a weakness in Robinson's work, it is perhaps this; his characters are so intelligent that they never shut up".[21] For The Globe and Mail, Sol Chrom lauded the epic scope, calling it a "magnificent achievement",[17] and for The Belfast News Letter, the reviewer called the novel "extraordinary, ambitious, poetic and powerful".[24] Science fiction critic Paul Kincaid concluded that it is "a huge, complex and highly enjoyable book".[25]

Alternate history is a subgenre of speculative fiction in which one or more historical events have occurred but are resolved differently than in actual history. As conjecture based upon historical fact, alternate history stories propose What if? scenarios about crucial events in human history, and present outcomes very different from the historical record. Some alternate histories are considered a subgenre of literary fiction, science fiction, or historical fiction.

Mars, the fourth planet from the Sun, has appeared as a setting in works of fiction since at least the mid-1600s. Trends in the planet's portrayal have largely been influenced by advances in planetary science. It became the most popular celestial object in fiction in the late 1800s, when it became clear that there was no life on the Moon. The predominant genre depicting Mars at the time was utopian fiction. Around the same time, the mistaken belief that there are canals on Mars emerged and made its way into fiction, popularized by Percival Lowell's speculations of an ancient civilization having constructed them. The War of the Worlds, H. G. Wells's novel about an alien invasion of Earth by sinister Martians, was published in 1897 and went on to have a major influence on the science fiction genre.
Counterfactual history is a form of historiography that attempts to answer the What if? questions that arise from counterfactual conditions. As a method of intellectual enquiry, counterfactual history explores history and historical incidents by extrapolating a timeline in which key historical events either did not occur or had an outcome different from the actual historical outcome. Counterfactual history seeks by "conjecturing on what did not happen, or what might have happened, in order to understand what did happen." It has produced a literary genre which is variously called alternate history, speculative history, allohistory, and hypothetical history.
The Mars trilogy is a series of science fiction novels by Kim Stanley Robinson that chronicles the settlement and terraforming of the planet Mars through the personal and detailed viewpoints of a wide variety of characters spanning almost two centuries. Ultimately more utopian than dystopian, the story focuses on egalitarian, sociological, and scientific advances made on Mars, while Earth suffers from overpopulation and ecological disaster.
The exploration of politics in science fiction is arguably older than the identification of the genre. One of the earliest works of modern science fiction, H. G. Wells’ The Time Machine, is an extrapolation of the class structure of the United Kingdom of his time, an extreme form of social Darwinism; during tens of thousands of years, human beings have evolved into two different species based on their social class.

Mundane science fiction (MSF) is a niche literary movement within science fiction that developed in the early 2000s, with principles codified by the "Mundane Manifesto" in 2004, signed by author Geoff Ryman and "The Clarion West 2004 Class". The movement proposes "mundane science fiction" as its own subgenre of science fiction, typically characterized by its setting on Earth or within the Solar System; a lack of interstellar travel, intergalactic travel or human contact with extraterrestrials; and a believable use of technology and science as it exists at the time the story is written or a plausible extension of existing technology. There is debate over the boundaries of MSF and over which works can be considered canonical. Rudy Rucker has noted MSF's similarities to hard science fiction and Ritch Calvin has pointed out MSF's similarities to cyberpunk. Some commentators have identified science fiction films and television series which embody the MSF ethos of near-future realism.
