This sequel to the stunning 'Red Mars' shifts away from the fundamental questions asked there, and into more philosophical and societal questions: Now that we live on Mars, what tenets will we use to build our society? How can we improve on the systems we came from?

In many ways, I found this the better novel of the two. The grandeur and excitement of the first book is gone, but the characters are shown navigating complex new territory in wholly believable ways.
