#88 True grit: The Sands of Mars (1951) by Arthur C. Clarke
Manage episode 356522947 series 2812810
The exploration and colonisation of Mars is a perennial subject in science fiction. Arthur C. Clarke's 1951 novel The Sands of Mars is a significant entry in that history, especially because it takes a realistic approach before the Mariner 4 flyby in 1965 - at least until the alien kangaroos show up.
This episode takes a look at the book, and how it fits in with the history of Mars-themed fiction and Clarke's wider career.
