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? Bestselling authors Kelly and Zach Weinersmith set out to write the essential guide to a glorious future of space settlements, but after years of original research, and interviews with leading space scientists, engineers and legal experts, they aren't so sure it's a good idea. Space tech and space business are progressing fast, but we lack the deep knowledge needed to have space-kids, build space-farms and create space nations in a way that doesn't spark conflict back home. In a world hurtling toward human expansion into space, \u003ci\u003eA City on Mars \u003c\/i\u003einvestigates whether the dream of new worlds won't create a nightmare, both for settlers and the people they leave behind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith deep expertise, a winning sense of humour and art from the beloved creator of \u003ci\u003eSaturday Morning Breakfast Cereal\u003c\/i\u003e, the Weinersmiths investigate perhaps the biggest questions humanity will ever ask itself - whether and how to become multiplanetary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe Weinersmiths, a wife-and-husband research team, co-wrote the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling \u003ci\u003eSoonish\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eDr. Kelly Weinersmith\u003c\/b\u003e is adjunct faculty in the BioSciences Department at Rice University.
