Description
ONE OF THE TIMES BEST SCIENCE BOOKS OF THE YEAR & A HUGO AWARD FINALISTTHE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLERTHE #2 MOST GIFTED BOOK IN THE SOLAR SYSTEMFrom the bestselling authors of Soonish, a brilliant and hilarious off-world investigation into space settlementEarth is not well.
The promise of starting life anew somewhere far, far away - no climate change, no war, no Twitter - beckons, and settling the stars finally seems within our grasp. Or is it? Bestselling authors Kelly and Zach Weinersmith set out to write the essential guide to a glorious future of space settlements, but after years of original research, and interviews with leading space scientists, engineers and legal experts, they aren't so sure it's a good idea.
Space tech and space business are progressing fast, but we lack the deep knowledge needed to have space-kids, build space-farms and create space nations in a way that doesn't spark conflict back home.
In a world hurtling toward human expansion into space, A City on Mars investigates whether the dream of new worlds won't create a nightmare, both for settlers and the people they leave behind. With deep expertise, a winning sense of humour and art from the beloved creator of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, the Weinersmiths investigate perhaps the biggest questions humanity will ever ask itself - whether and how to become multiplanetary.
