- Ah, I couldn't figure out why it sounded vaguely familiar until I saw the "Works of Kim Stanley Robinson" section at the bottom of the page:
> The Mondragon Corporation already appeared in Robinson's earlier Mars trilogy, as one of the Terran groups involved in the colonization and terraforming of Mars; the coop is also portrayed as the inspiration of both the bogdanovist movement [52] and the libertarian-leaning Praxis Corporation[53] two of the main forces leading the revolution for the independence of Mars.
Red Mars was one of the best sci-fi books I've ever read, but Green Mars starts pretty slow so I didn't get very far into it. I think I'll start the trilogy over.
- Salt, by Adam Roberts. It's a short enjoyable novel about conflict. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Salt-GOLLANCZ-S-F-Adam-Roberts-eboo...
I'd love to see a good adaptation of Red Mars / Blue Mars / Green Mars.
I think the Coyote series by Allen Steele could be fun if done right.
- I like that Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy (Red, Blue, Green Mars) are in red. That is my absolutely favourite Sci-Fi series of all time. It has aged amazingly well. He did an amazing amount of research for that book. It's very believable and the characters are incredibly complex.
- Also the Mars Trilogy (Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars) by Kim Stanley Robinson.
Honestly that's my favorite Sci-Fi novel series of all time. Just give Red Mars a try and I prosome you won't be able to put it down.
- In Kim Stanley Robinson's fictional series on Mars (Red, Blue, Green Mars), researches discover that memory is actually based on quantum physics.
It's a really good series I highly recommend, and it's won awards because Robinson put a lot of research into make the book believable. The descriptions and time scales used in the book make it very accessible to engineers while also containing incredible character development.
Anyway, memory could be very well related to the quantum world. There's a lot we do not understand about the brain, and what we do know raises a bunch of questions about how does our brain store information when it seems to have such limited potential capacity?
- I'm near the end of Green Mars at the moment. It's a fascinating story. I'm never sure if the science is accurate (not my forte) but it's definitely convincing and a compelling read.
