A City on Mars, by Kelly and Zach Weinersmith (Penguin Press).
This playful "homesteader's guide" to space settlement presents a bleak view of the pursuit, arguing that "an Earth with climate change and nuclear war ... is still a way better place than Mars." The authors examine the increasingly popular dream of a multi-planetary human race with a skepticism informed by ethical, logistical, and legal anxieties. They warn that the Martian landscape is whipped by "poison storms"; that space exploration without clearer laws could escalate into a "zero-sum scramble" for resources; and that science has barely grazed the unknowns of long-term extraterrestrial habitation.
