Kim Stanley Robinson.

The solar system is humanity's home, but the ecological and other "human " problems look curiously similar

By the way, if a human augments their humanity with computers, other species etc, when does she cease to be human? or does she? I LOVE THIS BOOK

strangely enough I just could not get into Red Mars last week , so I set it aside for another time. It is the first KSR book that I could not immediately love
