Critical Futures

Knowing Mars, Chapter 1

by tycho garen on Oct.13, 2008, under Critical Future

I mentioned on tychoish last week–in relation to my short break last week–that I was planning to release all of the already-posted chapters of Knowing Mars in PDF format.

So I am. I’ll release Chapters 1-3 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday of this week (October 13th, 2008). Each chapter is about 9 pages (typeset), and I hope they’ll be helpful for anyone who is new to the site to catch up. I’ll release subsequent Chapters as I finish posting them.

On Tuesday and Thursday I have a new Station Keeping story for your pleasure (and mine!). We’ll continue with Chapter 4 of Knowing next week. Thanks for reading.


You can download Chapter 1 of Knowing Mars by following this link.. The download is hosted by Lulu.com and is completely free.
