Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson

In the month when I got back to the job world I red this book, it has also been the month when ProShares has destroyed my investing and my freedom wishes.

Well, the book, some months ago I watched a TV serie called "Mars" from Discovery Channel which was a kind of documentary of how could be the first human trip to colonize Mars.

Perhaps the TV show was based in part in this book, if not, they could continue the serie with what's on the book because it shows also the voyage, the first stages of the colonization and... what happens afterwards, mostly in Mars but also how all affects to Earth.

It's clear that the author is not very optimistic about human kind, I, as a Trekkie, think that technology will help us to be better as humans but who nows, I live in Catalonia and what I'm seeing, listening and reading in Spanish media is trying to prove me wrong.

It's a good book, looking for the page number I've seen that it's the first of a trilogy, I'll wait some time befere I read the next, I don't want to be depressed in Spring.
