I read Kim's Mars trilogy years ago and liked it. I decided to pick up The Ministry of the Future a couple days ago. It's very different, and without any spoilers, I have to say it's made me hate humanity even more than I already did. If you haven't read it, it's a near-future climate disaster book. Well written, interesting structure, and just pissing me off. I'm about halfway through it, so maybe it'll swing the other way in the second half.

It’s not science fiction, but my favorite of his novels is The Years of Rice and Salt.

The Years of Rice and Salt.

I remember hearing about that book. Interesting premise.

It's fantastic, I am usually skeptical of alternate history as they tend to be lazy and are often masturbatory, but this book is great.
