Hope so. But my worry is that Earth will be easily "othered" when they're settled, as will itself "other" the colonies. Standard scifi farehttps://twitter.com/rikwes66/status/871550366189596672 …
Er, though I'm drawn to every book featuring the colonization of Mars, that trilogy for some reason repelled me. But Moving Mars was awesome
-
-
Which is a pity because the Red Mars characters must be some of the most deeply thought out I've seen in books in any genre.
-
Aha, recommendation acknowledged. I may've had the wrong idea. Don't mind slogging too much, if chars are engaging & developed
-
The characters eventually become engaging, but very slowly and lost in all the infuriatingly detailed descriptions of martian landscapes.
-
Lol, ok, not promising anything but I'll queue it up. Interestingly enough, Moving Mars had those too, but moved at a fair clip & was epic
-
Looks like that's also from a series called, strangely enough, Queen of Angels. The rest any good?
-
I only read Moving Mars out of that series, felt pretty standalone to me
-
Wouldn't be able to resist reading rest if MM is good. If you're looking for recs, check Lessing's Canopus books.

Were you put off by the endless technical exposition? KSR seemed too eager to show that he was well read.
-
Probably that, which doesn't endear most Bear to me either (Darwin's Radio), but also the reported glacial pace & tepid characterization
