He can be very dry at times though, something some people don't like. It doesn't bother me at all because he tackles such a broad scope of ideas in his novels (The Years Of Rice And Salt is staggering in it's scope and detail). Your mileage may vary, but I suspect you'll like his stuff. His Mars trilogy is the best "hard" sci-fi I've read, and it's a practical blueprint for the colonization of Mars (both physically and politically).
