Things have settled down somewhat, but the two opposing forces - the transnational corporations bent on exploiting and controlling Mars, and those who want to go an independent Martian way - are still in conflict, with a seething unrest spread across much of the planet.Įarth-powers remains in control, but there's a good deal of opposition on Mars proper. The first volume of the trilogy, Red Mars, culminated with the turning point of 2061, as those that had settled on the planet try to gain more autonomy and no longer want to answer to Earth (or create the Earth- (and corporate-) vision of Mars).
