Kim Stanley Robinson is een Amerikaanse sciencefictionauteur wiens werken zich regelmatig bezighouden met ecologische en sociologische thema's. Zijn schrijven is diep verweven met zijn wetenschappelijke fascinaties, een passie die duidelijk naar voren komt in zijn veelgeprezen Mars-trilogie, voortgekomen uit jarenlang onderzoek en een levenslange interesse in de planeet. Robinsons werk wordt geprezen om zijn literaire benadering van sciencefiction, waarbij hij complexe ideeën verkent met nauwgezette aandacht voor detail en weloverwogen reflectie.
As Earth cracks under the pressure of overpopulation, with too few resources, Mars stands as an Eden to be envied. Rifts have formed between the two most powerful factions on the planet's surface: the Reds and the Greens. But now a civil war threatens to destroy all that humanity has done to create a blue and perfect Mars.
GREEN EARTH takes the stories first told in FORTY SIGNS OF RAIN, FIFTY DEGREES BELOW and SIXTY DAYS AND COUNTING and combines them in a fully updated, compressed and compelling single volume.

Earth is no longer humanity's only home; new habitats have been created throughout the solar system on moons, planets and in between. But in this year, 2312, a sequence of events will force humanity to confront its past, its present and its future.
