Nothing makes you feel old quite like digging out your favourite sci-fi novel from when you were a teenager and realizing it's now that year. #redmars #MarsTrilogy #kimstanleyrobinson

"The development of eco-economics began at Acheron where Marina and Vlad began applying concepts of energy transfer between organisms to economics. Concluding that most big businesses took in more resources than they produced for society at large and created imbalances that were harmful to society."

I'm now re-reading the Red Mars trilogy. I laughed out loud when in Green Mars I read this: 'That's libertarians for you - anarchists who want police protection from their slaves.'

I think I saw a mention of this here last week, but it was fun reading it in the book.

非要对比LoA的话,这个故事到目前为止是费萨尔在革命前先被暗杀掉的故事线。
星球闹独立的故事也挺常见的吧?我知道海因莱因的《严厉的月亮》就是美国独立战争写的。这本书也开始跟独立战争做比较了。

在小说的时间线里,以色列摧毁了贝鲁特……

感觉作者的社会学思考还是浅了,建立火星新社会的构想就是共产主义乌托邦么?

读科学家们分开搞工程还挺有意思的。不过作者也写了很多社会学方面的情节……比如火星作为地球的殖民地……求求了不会再写一个LoA叙事吧?在书里读到移民火星的阿拉伯人我都后怕。

作者不写感情线的时候故事有意思多了!包括人类是否应该殖民改造火星的论战也挺精彩的。以及科学家们也带来了一个社会,改造火星不只是改造一个星球的自然环境,也是改造所有在火星上的人。

不愧是得过奖的长篇,硬科幻部分很不错,但是跟大部分硬科幻一样写人写得很糟糕……恋爱三角仿佛是强行凑出来的,感觉就是为了制造矛盾而写。
