About the Book: Earth is not well. The promise of starting life anew somewhere far, far away—no climate change, no war, no Twitter—beckons, and settling the stars finally seems within our grasp. Or is it? Kelly and Zach Weinersmith set out to write the essential guide to a glorious future of space settlements, but after years of research, they aren’t so sure it’s a good idea. "A City on Mars" investigates perhaps the biggest questions humanity will ever ask itself—whether and how to become multiplanetary.
Physical book copies are available at the circulation desk and as an eBook and digital audiobook on the Libby app.
