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, A City on Mars investigates whether the dream of new worlds won't create a nightmare, both for settlers and the people they leave behind. With deep expertise, a winning sense of humour and art from the beloved creator of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, the Weinersmiths investigate perhaps the biggest questions humanity will ever ask itself - whether and how to become multiplanetary."/><link href="https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/318993/a-city-on-mars-by-weinersmith-dr-kelly-weinersmith-and-zach/9780141993300" rel="canonical"/><meta property="og:title" content="A City on Mars"/><meta property="og:type" content="book"/><meta property="og:url" content="https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/318993/a-city-on-mars-by-weinersmith-dr-kelly-weinersmith-and-zach/9780141993300"/><meta property="og:image" content="https://cdn.penguin.co.uk/dam-assets/books/9780141993300/9780141993300-jacket-large.jpg"/><meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image"/><meta name="author" content="Dr. Kelly Weinersmith,Zach Weinersmith"/><meta name="bookTitle" content="A City on Mars"/><meta name="brand" content="penguin"/><meta name="comingSoon" content="false"/><meta name="contributors" content="Dr. Kelly Weinersmith,Zach Weinersmith"/><meta name="coverImage" content="https://cdn.penguin.co.uk/dam-assets/books/9780141993300/9780141993300-jacket-large.jpg"/><meta name="CQTagsAsString" content="Technology & Engineering,Society & Culture,Science & Nature,Popular Science,Space & Time,Non-Fiction,Computing & Technology,Politics & Society"/><meta name="division" content="Penguin Press"/><meta name="formatPrimary" content="Paperback"/><meta name="imprintDescription" content="Penguin"/><meta name="isbn" content="9780141993300"/><meta name="publicationDate" content="2024-10-10"/><meta name="searchTemplate" content="book"/><meta name="subTitle" content="Can We Settle Space, Should We Settle Space, and Have We Really Thought This Through?"/><meta name="synopsis" content="WINNER OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY TRIVEDI SCIENCE BOOK PRIZE 2024 ONE OF THE TIMES, SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW SCIENTIST BEST SCIENCE BOOKS OF THE YEAR A HUGO AWARD WINNER FOR BEST RELATED WORK 2024 THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER THE #2 MOST GIFTED BOOK IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM From the bestselling authors of Soonish, a brilliant and hilarious off-world investigation into space settlement Earth is not well.

</b><b>ONE OF THE TIMES, SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW SCIENTIST BEST SCIENCE BOOKS OF THE YEAR</b><b><br> <br> A HUGO AWARD WINNER FOR BEST RELATED WORK 2024<br> <br> THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER<br> <br> THE #2 MOST GIFTED BOOK IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM<br> <br> From the bestselling authors of <i>Soonish</i>, a brilliant and hilarious off-world investigation into space settlement</b><br> <br> Earth is not well. 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, <i>A City on Mars </i>investigates whether the dream of new worlds won't create a nightmare, both for settlers and the people they leave behind.<br> <br> With deep expertise, a winning sense of humour and art from the beloved creator of <i>Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal</i>, the Weinersmiths investigate perhaps the biggest questions humanity will ever ask itself - whether and how to become multiplanetary.</div></div><button type="button" class="Synopsis_more-link__z2N2L text_base-text-styles__do4Ye text_rich-text__W_rsd
