The trilogy shares some similarities with Robinson's more recent novel 2312 (2012) for instance, the terraforming of Mars and the extreme longevity of the characters in both novels. Icehenge (1984), Robinson's first novel about Mars, is not set in this universe but deals with similar themes and plot elements. Blue Mars also won the Hugo and Locus Awards in 1997.

Green Mars won the Hugo Award for Best Novel and Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel in 1994. Red Mars won the BSFA Award in 1992 and Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1993. The Martians (1999) is a collection of short stories set in the same fictional universe. The three novels are Red Mars (1992), Green Mars (1993), and Blue Mars (1996). Ultimately more utopian than dystopian, the story focuses on egalitarian, sociological, and scientific advances made on Mars, while Earth suffers from overpopulation and ecological disaster. The Mars trilogy is a series of science fiction novels by Kim Stanley Robinson that chronicles the settlement and terraforming of the planet Mars through the personal and detailed viewpoints of a wide variety of characters spanning almost two centuries. But despite these ambitious goals, there are some who would fight to the death to prevent Mars from ever being changed. And massive tunnels drilled into the mantle will create stupendous vents of hot gases. Black dust sprinkled on the polar caps will capture warmth and melt the ice. They will place giant satellite mirrors in Martian orbit to reflect light to the surface. Now a group of one hundred colonists begins a mission whose ultimate goal is to transform Mars into a more Earthlike planet.
