Amber asked this question about The Martian Chronicles:
In 2015, is there still anything relevant to appreciate about The Martian Chronicles? I personally found it mired in quaint, unimaginative ideas about what another planet and other intelligent beings might be like, and I wasn't particularly bowled over by its underlying philosophical ideas either.
Pulse So funny to be reading this in 2024, instantly recognizing it as germaine to daily life on planet Earth, and then come here and see this.

The Martians …more

The Martians barely even feature, and to pick that aspect out from the cycle of destruction we're living through even now... huh.(less)
