Kim Stanley Robinson answers your questions im Stanley Robinson has had a remarkable career since he published his first novel, The Wild Shore , 12 years ago. Since then he has averaged slightly less than a book a year (not counting short story collections), and nearly every one has defined its own niche in the science fiction genre. But with the conclusion of his Mars trilogy, Robinson has created what might be one of the grandest literary science fiction epics to date. Together the three novels Red Mars Green Mars and Blue Mars (see our review, this issue) chronicle the colonization and terraformation of Mars over hundreds of years and through dozens of viewpoints. Last week Robinson sat down with Science Fiction Weekly the Mars trilogy to dystopian science fiction. Here's what he had to say: 1) What inspired you to write the Mars trilogy? Ian Watts, iwatts@awod.com Many of the things I'm most interested in can be talked about in a new and interesting way by putting them on Mars. I like mountains above tree line, desolate coastlines, deserts, and wilderness generally, and Mars gives you a lot of that. The pictures returned from the Mariner and Viking missions gave us an entirely new wilderness planet, with many stupendous features, and all of it as rocky and bare as I like it. So it was a good landscape, and relatively untouched, in that the earlier Mars science fiction had to work with very little information about the landscape, some of that wrong. Also, the process of terraformation, which Mars is a great candidate for, brings up all the issues of ecology and environmental management that are most pressing for us right now here on Earth. Mars functions as a mesocosm experiment in planetary control, in that it's bigger than a lab but smaller than the Earth's complex biosphere.

science fiction author " ...creativity and inspiration for me is not a matter of one big moment of vision (though sometimes that can happen) but more a ceaseless application of effort to matters of detail. " How were you motivated to choose your particular field? What can you share about your creative process? Stories begin for me as images or ideas, often quite vague or fragmentary. Translating those beginnings into finished works of art is a matter of hard work over the long haul. Because I work with words and sentences, I must always focus on that level; not so much the big picture, as making a particular sentence spark an image in the reader's mind. So I often begin before I am ready to begin, and write in ignorance, doing my best sentence by sentence, and then when I've gone through the story once I go back and revise, time after time, and only late in the process does the vision I am trying to convey come into focus. So I would say that creativity and inspiration for me is not a matter of one big moment of vision (though sometimes that can happen) but more a ceaseless application of effort to matters of detail. That too is creativity. What ideas do you have for a future human community on Mars?

Henry, at 17, wants to help make America like it was before all the bombs went off. But, for the people of Onofre Valley, on the coast of California, just surviving is enough of a challenge.

SEARCH: advertisement An Interview With Kim Stanley Robinson posted: 11:47 am ET 26 June 2000 The man who can tell you everything about what it takes to terraform Mars is not surprised by the confirmation of water on the Red Planet. In his three "Mars" novels ( Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars ), Kim Stanley Robinson constructed a vision of the Red Planet and humanity's evolving relationship with it that spans hundreds of years and as many characters. The achievement has been likened to " War and Peace with spaceships"; another comparison might be to a space-age Moby Dick Robinson spoke to SPACE.com about the discovery of an indispensable requirement for life as we know it, whether native to the Red Planet or imported from Earth. "It was no surprise . . . The best analogy for space in the next half century is probably Antarctica in the last half century." SPACE.com: What was your reaction to the news that Mars recently had liquid water and possibly still does? Kim Stanley Robinson : It was no surprise. The huge outflow channels are solid evidence of a great deal of water on the surface in the distant past oceanic amounts of water. Some is still there to be seen in the polar caps, some of it no doubt escaped into space, the rest is quite certainly under the surface, frozen in

The Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson Published by Bantam Doubleday Dell 768 pages, 2002 Buy it online "I suppose I would like my book to give some different angles on the world, make readers re-think some of their assumptions about world history, Europe and the rest of the world. I would hope that it would de-occidentalize them, what we would call 'disorientation,' so that they had to reconsider what they thought they knew about history. As for the current war on terrorism, the more context the better; and the more we know about Islam, the better." See Book Reviews on January Magazine. Fourteen miles west of California's parking lot-covered capital, Sacramento, you'll find a 70-acre neighborhood of single-family homes and co-op apartments called Village Homes. Each structure in the quiet, tree-lined Davis, California suburb features solar water heating, natural cooling systems and a natural drainage system that also irrigates eight cooperatively cultivated orchards and a vineyard. Energy consumption is one-third to one-half that of other neighborhoods in Davis. Bound together through the "warp and weft" of committees, boards and potlucks, its residents govern Village Homes with a cheerful semblance of democracy. Science fiction novelist Kim Stanley Robinson has served on its elected board of directors, volunteered on the community's horticultural committee and architectural review board, and written for its newsletter. "I moved into Village Homes in 1991," says Robinson, "and it strangely echoed what I had already written in my utopian novel
