How to Mars by David Ebenbach
3.0
This was quite a unique conceit, yet one that seems very timely, and strangely (from the afterword) was born of a real-life scheme in 2015. The thumbnail describes a one-way, reality show (funded?) research expedition to Mars, but the left turn (spoilers for the first sentence) comes from the first (forbidden) pregnancy on Mars and the changes that follow in the six person micro-society.
We get a nice sample of the various points of view, interspersed with the fairly hilarious Destination Mars! handbook.
The reality show component reminded me just a smidge of that component of the TV show Defying Gravity...without that show’s high concept.
Not entirely for for me, but definitely for many someones.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this ARC in advance of publication.
