Editor’s note Science fiction of politics, ecology and engineering, dense with detail. Start with Red Mars, the first of the Mars trilogy about settling and terraforming the planet over two centuries; it is his most read book, and Green Mars, which follows, rates highest. The Ministry for the Future, about the fight against climate change, is his other widely read book.
