Knowing Mars, Chapter 1

A Critical Future story, by tycho garen
on 13th October 2008. (commentary)

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.

From the document preamble:

Knowing Mars is a novella written by tycho garen in the fall of 2007 and posted to CriticalFutures.com serially beginning in the late summer of 2008. In addition to regular postings of newer material, we’re also releasing complete chapters in PDF format for download. These chapters are, like most of the work posted on CriticalFutures.com are available under the terms of a Creative Commons, Attribution-Non-Commercial Share Alike 3.0 License. Please share this with your friends, translate it into additional formats, create new work based on these stories, just make sure you attribute tycho garen/critical futures, and don’t sell it commercially (without discussing it with to me). Contact me by email at garen@tychoish.com or find more information here. Thanks for reading, and please visit Critical Futures for more Knowing Mars, and other really awesome science fiction.

Please spread the word (and the download link1).

Thanks for your help and again for reading.
