Robinson, Kim S.: GREEN MARS

Mars. The green planet. Man´s dream of a new world is underway, but corrupted. The First Hundered have scattered or died, the rebels are undergound, planning their utopia, waiting. The transnational corporations aided by the UN are rebuilding the ruined cities and mining valuable resources. They too have a dream. Mars can b e plundered, cultivated and terraformed to suit Man´s needs - frozen takes are forming, lichen is growing, the atmosphrere is slowly becoming breathable. But most importantly, Mars can be owned. On Earth, countries are being bought and sold by the transnationals. Why not here too?
