A review by cdurbzz
Blue Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson

5.0

wow, what a triumph. a titanic, sprawling compendium of evocative concepts, explored in distinct narrative sections focusing on a single character at a time. i'd have guessed the novel colonial politics of red mars or the exciting revolutionary themes of green mars would have marked the high points of the trilogy, but not so! what drives progress after the revolution? more importantly, what becomes of the revolutionary? this is the conceit of blue mars, surpassing its predecessors by centering the characters above the science to great effect. incredibly moving.
