fallen angels (novel)

Fallen Angels is a 1991, Prometheus Award-winning novel by science fiction authors Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle, and Michael Flynn. The story features a future in which the environmentalist movement has gained control of the earth's governments, imposing draconian luddite laws which, in an ironic effort to end global warming, bring about an even greater environmental catastrophe in the form of an ice age. Against this backdrop, two marooned astronauts from the spacestations of Peace (the Russian Mir), and Freedom (which collectively form what amounts to a rogue state), flee the radically green American Government with the aid of science fiction fandom (the last remnants of a pro-technology underground in the U.S.), in an effort to return home in orbit. The novel takes aim at several targets of ridicule. Senator William Proxmire, environmentalist mystics who believe that one cannot freeze to death in the snow because "crystals are healing", many come in for a spanking from the authors. ISBN 0743435826 Electronic edition free at the Baen Free Library. The novel was written as a tribute to science fiction fandom, and includes many of its well-known figures, legends, and practices. An electronic edition is available free at the Baen Free Library.
