“Space 2047” is a wildly inventive, darkly comic, and philosophically charged sci-fi odyssey that expands Benjamin Arthur Robinson’s creative universe far beyond the frontiers of his poetry. Set in a future both absurd and alarmingly recognisable, it follows a misfit crew adrift in the endless boredom of the cosmos—lost, eccentric, and yet unmistakably human.
From its opening scenes aboard the spaceship Are We There Yet?, Robinson’s signature humour and moral curiosity intertwine. His cast—Brian the self-serious dreamer, Salomina the beautiful chaos, Cedric the misguided romantic, Karen the accident-prone telekinetic, and even Gertrude the cross-dressing cleaning robot—form one of the most entertainingly dysfunctional ensembles in contemporary speculative fiction. The result is part satire, part cosmic farce, and part social allegory.
Beneath the laughter, Space 2047 explores timeless themes: isolation, absurdity, moral failure, and the quest for meaning in a mechanised age. Robinson’s wit often borders on the philosophical—his jokes, like Vonnegut’s or Adams’s, carry the weight of empathy beneath their surface chaos. Every absurd situation—meteorites with advertising slogans, sentient sandwiches, or space rabbits with headlights—masks an existential truth about humanity’s capacity for both brilliance and idiocy.
Stylistically, the novel blends theatrical comedy with poetic precision. Robinson’s sentences sparkle with rhythm and inventiveness, his dialogue as much about timing as tone. The humour is irreverent but never cruel; the moral compass, as always in his work, points toward compassion and redemption, even in galaxies gone mad.
