The downsides of spacefaring, infiltrating Florida’s gator poachers, and more books out this month
FICTION A City on Mars: Can We Settle Space, Should We Settle Space, and Have We Really Thought This Through?If the space race in the 1960s was solely about geopolitics, the latest rush off Earth is, at least at times, about something slightly more ineffable. By building a future in space, human society has a chance to reinvent itself, to forge something different—and maybe better. Right?
The authors write in a witty voice that still commands authority, like a middle school science teacher who celebrates Pi Day but most assuredly wants you to accurately calculate circumference. Many nonfiction books about space, especially the history and future of exploration, are suffused with an almost religious degree of optimism and zeal. The Weinersmiths are not optimistic, but their book remains approachable rather than overtly cynical.
