Mars Trilogy

Book • 1992
The Mars trilogy, consisting of 'Red Mars' (1992), 'Green Mars' (1993), and 'Blue Mars' (1996), follows the settlement and terraforming of Mars from 2026 to 2212.

The series explores the technological, moral, social, and political evolution of the Martian colony through the perspectives of a diverse cast of characters.

It delves into themes such as the debate between 'Reds' who want to preserve Mars in its natural state and 'Greens' who advocate for terraforming, the formation of new societies, and the complex relationships between Earth and Mars.

The trilogy is known for its detailed analysis of philosophical, political, and geological aspects of the Martian environment and its potential for human habitation.
