Keep Mars Weird

Keep Mars Weird

<p>Several hundred years in the future, a depopulated Earth has become a tolerant, progressive paradise. What could be better—or <i>duller</i>? Meanwhile, Mars is home to New Austin, a freewheeling human colony fabled to make Las Vegas look like a meditation retreat. After breaking the polite laws of Earth, earnest schoolteacher Jordan Kincaid finds himself forced to relocate. It’s either life on Mars or life behind bars.</p><p>But what promised to be Xanadu is more like <i>Blade Runner</i> . . . only with more waiting in line. Trend-chasing hipsters and obnoxious tourists have swarmed into New Austin at the expense of poverty-stricken locals, all overseen by a greedy megamogul bent on transforming the city into a gentrified nightmare. When a sexy but sinister heiress seduces Jordan, he finds himself on the wrong side of a literal real-estate rebellion, as the filthy rich and dirt poor battle for control of the next hot neighborhood. Forget about keeping it weird, someone’s got to keep Mars from becoming a hell <i>off</i> Earth.</p><p/><i><i>This book was initially released in episodes as a Kindle Serial.
