Post-atomic war dystopia set in 2047 in which people are trying to survive and maintain what knowledge of the past they can. First in a series variously called the Orange County trilogy and the Three Californias trilogy, with the latter being Robinson’s name for it. See also 1988, The Gold Coast, and 1990 Robinson, Pacific Edge, which are reprinted in Three Californias. New York: Tom Doherty Associates, 2020, with an introduction “Triptych, with Softball” by Francis Spufford (7-12), The Wild Shore (13-292), The Gold Coast (293-653), and Pacific Edge (655-895). The three volumes have the same physical location, but the futures presented are different.
