Depiction of Mars in Fictional Works, Part VIII

This is the eighth part of a nine part series. In this series, I will discuss how Mars is depicted in various fictional works such as movies, books, and games.

In Part VIII, I will discuss about
Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars trilogy: Red Mars, Green Mars, and Blue Mars. It chronicles the settlement and terraforming of the planet Mars. The story of Red Mars takes place in 2026 with the first colonial voyage to Mars. It depicts the struggle between the human residents and the greedy corporations, which led to the destruction of Mars’ infrastructure. Green Mars and Blue Mars concerned with a centuries-long program of terraforming the planet.
