Mars trilogy5/8/2023 And doing it this way means each time I have a chance to invent a whole new history, and even if they are somewhat similar, there's still a lot of pleasure to be had there in the details.īUT: After having read the first 200 pages of 2312 I dare say that while some details, ideas and developments differ from the Mars trilogy timeline a lot of stuff fits very well. I think it's best to keep on updating one's views on what is "most likely to happen," and write accordingly. Even within my Mars stories there are a couple alternative historical lines to the main one described in the trilogy. I don't see that the advantages of some larger macro-history are very large, compared to the flexibility that I've gained by making each novel have its own future history. I've never done it, and so of course now it's too late, and I don't regret it. KS: That's right, I don't like linking up my various projects into one larger future history. 2312 appears in some ways closely related to both your Mars trilogy and Science in the Capital trilogy, but I am assuming that it is not exactly part of the same future history. Kim Stanley Robinson has clarified this in an interview. They are not in the same timeline/universe.
