Moving Mars: A Novel

Moving Mars: A Novel

Author: Greg Bear

Practically every novel that imagines a successful Mars colony also imagines that the colony will come into conflict with Earth. Mars, which will of necessity attract the self-reliant, is invariably described as a place of radical thought that clashes with the inherent conservatism of Earth. One of the best portrayals of such a situation is this novel. The political radicalism of Mars is also tied in with scientific radicalism, as a string of new discoveries fuel tensions with Earth. In the end, the title of the novel is a literal description of the plans of the Martian rebels.   Moving Mars won the Nebula Award for Best Novel, and it was, along with Red Mars, one of the books that kicked off the renewed interest in Mars in science fiction during the early 1990s.
