Very lazily working my way through Kim Stanley Robinson's Blue Mars at Daughters. It's a beautiful day.

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

Kuba hat sich so sehr in Kim Stanley Robinsons Mars-Trilogie vertieft, dass er die Erde nun mit anderen Augen sieht. Außerdem löst er den mysteriösen Fisheye-Fall aus Folge #47 und berichtet von den Summer Games Done Quick 2025. Marta vertieft sich dagegen in Moleküle, die nichts mit Kohlenstoff zu tun haben, und stellt sich der Frage, ob man aus ihnen Leben bauen kann.

All right, it's all coming together piece by piece 😀

I'm on to the second book of the Mars Trilogy, Green Mars, by Kim Stanley Robinson. I'm not a "colonize Mars" guy in the slightest. We need to focus here and now on Earth. The story here though is more than about Mars. It is about the scourges of corporate interest, dismantling the common good. The scientific backdrop to this storyline makes it all the more immersive, including compelling character development. I'd provide examples, but you should just read it yourself. 🙂 #greenmars, #kimstanleyrobinson, #MarsTrilogy

So, I read Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars Trilogy when the books were first published (early 1990s). They were fascinating and I enjoyed them immensely so here I am re-reading but in the middle of the first book Red Mars, I’m already struggling!! Irritating characters, very very long chunks of science explainers - & the meandering nature of the whole thing.

What the hell? Does anyone else experience this….disappointment on re-reads?

📚 Blue Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson – Eclecticism

An excellent end to the series.

Coyote, a stowaway on the spaceship Ares that brought the First Hundred to Mars, was a prominent figure of the underground resistance in #KimStanleyRobinson's #MarsTrilogy.

Here we see one of his hideouts, on the other side of the Neretva Vallis riverbank 🙃 🤣
