I highly recommend Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy. Great scifi books about a vaguely realistic Mars settlement, and the cultural/biological changes that occur.
- sharkjacobs 10y agoAnd then read Aurora, also by Robinson, to promptly crush all your dreams of terraforming mars and settling other solar systems!
- erispoe 10y agoI never could get beyond the first dozens of pages, I was very annoyed by the way Robinson paints broad group of people as having homogeneous traits (the "arabs" living in a martian kasbah and depicted as backward people). Does it get past that?
- irremediable 10y agoDid you start with the first book? I wouldn't have thought it would start with that stuff, because Mars isn't colonised at the start of the series. IMO it is better than that most of the time, in any case.
