Synopsis

Trees on Mars

About this title

Review:

"Hal Niedzviecki's urgent, eye-opening Trees on Mars exposes our mania for the future as exactly what it is: an ideology as narrow and dangerous as any we've known from history. Read this book and be the first on your block to recall the rebel thrill of living in the present."
--J.B. MacKinnon, author of The Once and Future World: Nature As It Was, As It Is, As It Could Be
