1. I highly recommend

the Mars Trilogy - Red Mars, Green Mars, and Blue Mars - if you've not already read them. An epic story told by a master.

3. I had never read a KSR book until 2014 and read

nine that year: Mars Trilogy, California Trilogy, Antarctica, The Years of Rice and Salt, and Galileo's Dream.

Intended to read 2312 but never got a copy at the time and moved on in my reading.

His PhD thesis long ago was on Philip K Dick but I have never read that despite being a major PKD reader and book collector.

I actually made two posts today on another forum (not DU) regards the Mars Trilogy.

Very good stuff.

4. just finished the "environmental" trilogy 40 - 50 -60

Bernie Sanders gets elected (well close)

The world has crashed and there is no choice but to work to fix it

well - some republicans still fight to stop change

lots of other fun stuff

I really liked these books

5. Sometime in the next several years I probably

will get 40-50-69, 2312, and some others and have another epic KSR read.

I read the Mars Trilogy in hc from the library and bought mostly ragged used soft covers of the other novels.
