More from Greg Bear...

Just finished Moving Mars...sci-fi infused political drama as memoir of a young woman growing up on the frontier planet of Mars. Earth is the big, bad superpower trying to tell the backwater planet what to do to fit into the "Terrie" vision of the solar system. Mars wants to find their own way. I found this book to start kind of slow, but worth it in the end. It's not everyday Earthlings are written as the bad guys.
