À propos de ce titre

Winner of the Nebula Award for Best Novel, Red Mars is the first book in Kim Stanley Robinson's best-selling trilogy. Red Mars is praised by scientists for its detailed visions of future technology. It is also hailed by authors and critics for its vivid characters and dramatic conflicts.

For centuries, the red planet has enticed the people of Earth. Now an international group of scientists has colonized Mars. Leaving Earth forever, these 100 people have traveled nine months to reach their new home. This is the remarkable story of the world they create - and the hidden power struggles of those who want to control it.

Although it is fiction, Red Mars is based on years of research. As living spaces and greenhouses multiply, an astonishing panorama of our galactic future rises from the red dust. Through Richard Ferrone's narration, each scene is energized with the designs and dreams of the extraordinary pioneers.

"Generously blending hard science with canny insight into human strengths and weaknesses, this suspenseful sf saga should appeal to a wide range of readers." (Library Journal)
"The ultimate in future history." (Daily Mail)

eigentlich super spannend aber soziokulturell unaushaltbar engstirnig. Klischees ohne Ende. In verbindung mit dem Sprecher und seiner wenig emphatischen Stimme echt keinen Bock mehr.

nationalistisch und kulturalistisch

Für Leser, die an der Marsbesiedlung und wissenschaftlich fundierten Hintergründen dazu interessiert sind, bietet das Buch massig Fakten und plausible Fiktion. Leider hat es dabei wenig und mäßige Story. gerade am Anfang scheint es, als existierten die Charaktere nur, um zur ausschweifenden Beschreibung der Geologie und Geografie des Planeten verschiedene Fakten aus anderen Forschungsgebieten beizutragen. Schade, ich hatte mehr erwartet.

Mehr Fakten als Fiktion

... um Red Mars bis zum Ende durchzuhören. Vor ein paar Jahren habe ich Mal das Buch angefangen zu lesen, aber nach der Hälfte abgebrochen. War damals schon anstrengend.

Natürlich bewundere ich den Autor zutiefst so einen Wälzer zu schreiben und die Hard Science SciFi in diesem Buch ist großartig. Sie gibt den damaligen Wissenstand zum Mars perfekt wieder und die Technologien sind glaubwürdig. Naja, bei den Biowissenschaften evtl nicht ganz, aber Molekulargenetik war damals einfach noch eher sowas wie schwarze Magie und keine Wissenschaft wie heute.

Aber die teils ellenlangen Erzählungen über die Reise einzelner Charaktere, ihr Werdegang, ihre zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen ... Da braucht es wirklich "Ohrfleisch". Und wer Action sucht, der wird in diesem Buch nur sehr selten welche finden.

Aber wer sich für SciFi Klassiker, die man mal gelesen - oder gehört - haben sollte, interessiert, einen Flug nach Australien vor sich hat und im Flieger eh nicht schlafen kann, für den ist dieses Hörbuch sicher empfehlenswert. Und für den Rückflug dann Green Mars. Und dann am besten auch noch Blue Mars...wenn schon dann denn schon!

Man braucht schon Sitzfleisch bzw Ohrfleisch ...

I really enjoyed this one. I think it might have been my first hard scifi book ever, and I was pleasantly surprised that despite there being a whole lot of science in it, the characters were still interesting enough to mostly remain engaging. This is a book that is deeply concerned with the minutiae of the process of turning a mostly barren planet into a home. What that means for the scientists who go there first, how they feel about their lives, their roles in society, their relationships to each other. What it means for the new society blossoming into something new and strange and quite unlike anything seen before. What it means for politics, and also what it means for the specific scientific details of "how do we make this a livable place".
I would say the balance between scientific and political details vs character development and interpersonal relationships is about 60 to 40, and sometimes I found myself wishing there was more of the latter. Whats there is quite good, and some scenes I found deeply moving and memorable, such as some of the first 100 settlers reflecting on the fact that no one speaks their language, and they will live the rest of their lives conversing in English and Russian. Or a debate about the role of humanity and consciousness in the universe, and what it entitles us to in the grand scheme of things.
I wish there had been more of that and less of the specific scientific nitty gritty details but I understand thats part of the draw for a lot of people, and I dont think I was ever bored. I will probably continue with book 2, as the first one ends on a really intriguing note that leaves me wanting more.

Hard sci-fi with memorable scenes

I know the main characters now, but I did not feel any emotional attachement to them at all. The plot is really slow, but even when there's action it did not draw me in much more than the endless descriptions of Mars' geological formations.
Would probably have stopped reading if this wasn't an audiobook.

Nerdy side note: The automation is just ridiculous. They are manually flying planes that were manufactured by a completely automated factory. They very quickly start to produce crazy luxury items like wine on Mars and seem to have just endless raw materials to build their machines with. Procuring and refining minerals seems to be no problem at all, but apparently there much manual programming effort needed (on Mars, because you can't prepare stuff like that on Earth, obviously) to get brick laying robots to build houses.

This book was recommended from many different sources. I really can't understand why.

Could not emotionally engage me at all
