"There is this about the human mind - if it can be done, it will be done": First Editions of Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy; Each Volume Signed by Him

The Mars Trilogy - comprising Red Mars (1992), Green Mars (1993), and Blue Mars (1996) - is widely regarded as Kim Stanley Robinson's magnum opus and one of the most ambitious works in the history of science fiction, chronicling the colonization and terraforming of Mars across nearly two centuries of future history, from 2026 to 2212. Robinson brings to the project an exceptional depth of scientific research alongside sustained attention to the political, ecological, and philosophical tensions that would inevitably accompany humanity's attempt to remake an entire planet - generating a narrative that is at once rigorous hard science fiction and a searching inquiry into questions of environmentalism, capitalism, and utopian possibility. Red Mars won the BSFA Award in 1992 and the Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1993, while Green Mars won the Hugo Award for Best Novel and the Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel in 1994, and Blue Mars swept both those awards again in 1997. "A staggering book...The best novel on the colonization of Mars that has ever been written" (Arthur C. Clarke).
