Magnificent Quiver posted:What the hell? He leaves so many plot threads dangling and reveals something that most of the readers had probably figured out by now? I thought the number of galaxies had been explicitly said to be decreasing over time due to universal expansion in previous books???

TjyvTompa posted:Yes, it is not a real sequel, it just re-uses some elements, for example the terraformed Mars. Although Mars was terraformed in another way in 2312 then in Red Mars. The only thing that is really exactly the same is the city of Terminator, in that it exists in both books and works the same way. Again? He really likes rebooting that setting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icehenge He can call his work "Three Mars'"

The Lone Badger posted:The second book is the most Randian of the trilogy, but it's not like the third one is a lot better than the first. The finale of the third book delves into literal objectivism.

I love when lovely sci fi authors go on teary rants about how when they advocate for monarchy/pedophilia/objectivism/white supremacy in repeated books, it doesn't mean they actually believe in such things.

Drifter posted:If you haven't read them, his Golden Age trilogy is also really entertaining. They're really cool. If you are an Ayn Rand fan. Edit: it is possible that the whole thing was a deep troll on objectivism, but poe's law may apply. Spazzle fucked around with this message at 17:56 on Jun 18, 2015 |

chrisoya posted:No, Wright was a crazy Randian, he just used to keep it somewhat contained and be slightly self-deprecating. He converted to Jesus Extreme and now he rants about Korrasami. The funny thing about the golden age is that it is entirely run by captains of industry who get their wealth from perpetual patents to technology given to them by bored AI. The place is a literal unending dystopian nightmare presented as a utopia.
