С одной стороны, твердая НФ, по-настоящему научная. С другой — левацкая агитка, приправленная беспорядочными связями. Лучше бы автор оставил свои политические и сексуальные предпочтения при себе.

That was superb. A chronicle of the first 36 years of the colonisation of Mars and it's absolutely packed.
While it is very much a hard-sf novel, and the science is very much built into the narrative, what makes Red Mars really gripping is everything else. The characters, the politics, the compromises, the consequences.
The scope of the novel is huge and it deserves every accolade it's recieved.
