"The development of eco-economics began at Acheron where Marina and Vlad began applying concepts of energy transfer between organisms to economics. Concluding that most big businesses took in more resources than they produced for society at large and created imbalances that were harmful to society."

I'm now re-reading the Red Mars trilogy. I laughed out loud when in Green Mars I read this: 'That's libertarians for you - anarchists who want police protection from their slaves.'

I think I saw a mention of this here last week, but it was fun reading it in the book.

非要对比LoA的话，这个故事到目前为止是费萨尔在革命前先被暗杀掉的故事线。
星球闹独立的故事也挺常见的吧？我知道海因莱因的《严厉的月亮》就是美国独立战争写的。这本书也开始跟独立战争做比较了。

在小说的时间线里，以色列摧毁了贝鲁特……

#RedMars #红火星
读科学家们分开搞工程还挺有意思的。不过作者也写了很多社会学方面的情节……比如火星作为地球的殖民地……求求了不会再写一个LoA叙事吧？在书里读到移民火星的阿拉伯人我都后怕。

作者不写感情线的时候故事有意思多了！包括人类是否应该殖民改造火星的论战也挺精彩的。以及科学家们也带来了一个社会，改造火星不只是改造一个星球的自然环境，也是改造所有在火星上的人。

不愧是得过奖的长篇，硬科幻部分很不错，但是跟大部分硬科幻一样写人写得很糟糕……恋爱三角仿佛是强行凑出来的，感觉就是为了制造矛盾而写。

Damn good so far.

I've finished Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson. I can see why it is regarded as a classic, but it is very dated (fax machines in the future!) and it goes on too long.
Here is my #Review https://app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/f09d15dd-bedf-41d5-89d9-15a6855b7cc1

@Ailantd They need other rovers for support and to keep the operators from going crazy. I imagine this on Mars, with characters like those in #RedMars who travelled in rovers. The one in the drawing looks a little bigger: 2 levels of 500 sq.ft. each aft, one 100 sq.ft. control deck forward. It needs a machine shop, lab backup toilet, store room, air lock, galley, and quarters, all tiny. Reactor and drive are below. It sounds like exploration with time for introspection.

Seriously, let's get excited about stopping the de-terraforming of Earth instead of living in daydreams about terraforming Mars.

Kim Stanley Robinson: Red Mars

I know: late to the party. But it is pretty great. Looking forward to the next one.

Localization of the first trip to the North Pole in #KimStanleyRobinson's #RedMars, with a stop at Chasma Boreale, where an Ice Miner was dropped by air at coordinates 41 W, 83 N to extract water for use in Underhill.

The first map is a polar projection showing the trip from Underhill to the North Pole.

The second map is a detail of the approach to the pole, drawn on an #ESA #MarsExpress image processed by @andrealuck , from here: https://mastodon.social/@andrealuck@fosstodon.org/110327396095633780

Localization of the Transverse Highway, crossing Valles Marineris, from #KimStanleyRobinson's #RedMars; the annotations are from the description of John Boone's drive from Argyre through Melas Chasma to Underhill and then Echus Overlook.

The fourth image shows some traces of the fallen Space Elevator carbon fiber cable, as described in reports received during that sol, near the end of the novel.
