@fifischwarz @boeken @bookstodon I read KSR’s Red Mars a year or two ago and loved it so much, I keep planning on going back to him, but I haven’t yet. I was sure at the time he had a degree in mechanical engineering or something, but was surprised to learn (from Wikipedia) his first doctoral advisor was Frederic Jameson- the guy Slavoj Zizek and Mark Fisher always talk about

@fifischwarz @cpkimber @boeken @bookstodon Absolutely. His Mars trilogy may not be as popular as the Martian, but I don’t think that’s because it is less “hard” as a sci fi novel.

@SusannaShore @bookstodon I believe it is supposed to represent ancient Vietnam and not ancient China
