 The Memory of Whiteness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Memory of Whiteness is a science fiction novel written by Kim Stanley Robinson in 1985.
It shares with the Mars trilogy a focus on human colonization of the solar system and depicts a grand tour that travels from the outer planets inward toward the Sun, visiting many human colonies along the way.
In comparison to Robinson's later works, The Memory of Whiteness is less like hard science fiction and more about art, especially music and the emotions triggered by it.

 The Memory of Whiteness | Ann Arbor District Library
Kim Stanley Robinson is well known for his Mars Trilogy and The Years of Rice and Salt, but I've read some of his earlier works recently, and while markedly different from his more recent, high-profile works, both The Memory of Whiteness and Icehenge are rewarding, idea-rich reads with complex characters and political structures.

They are encouraged to investigate literary and cultural history as forms of knowledge production and social action; to develop the specific linguistic, philosophical, and historical skills relevant to their chosen field and intervention; and to thinkand articulate with clarity, subtlety, and imagination.
Particular faculty interests currently cutting across the chronological and geographical categorizations of literature include examples such as the cultural work of memory; whiteness and orientalism; mourning and trauma; the history of the book and other media, especially the visual arts and film; performativity and the sensorium; religion and political theory; science and technology.
The flexibility of the program, together with our encouragement of an interdisciplinarity driven and defined by the curiosity and intellectual interests of students, encourages exciting and unanticipated conjunctions in intellectual work -- between, say, queer and marxist theory, or between medieval and Latin American studies, film and Victoriana.

However, The Memory of Whiteness has a chapter set on Mars, and by chance that does fit in more or less, because it’s so far off in the future that you can imagine it following the Mars books.
Since the past exists only in our memories and our records and in the relative importance we attach to different segments of those memories and those records, the past of a devout Marxist is going to be quite different than the past of a convicted Christian.
Yes, for thousands of years Mars was a sacred power in human affairs; and its color made it a dangerous power, representing blood, anger, war and the heart.

I highly recommend this book, though it be the first in an as yet unfinished trilogy.
I also recommend Stan’s other books, especially Red Mars if you’re into hard sci-fi, Escape From Kathmandu if you like humor and adventure, The Memory of Whiteness if you like music and philosophy, and The Years of Rice and Salt if you might like an extremely well-written exploration of a possible alternate history.
As for the rest of the summer, some of my other favorite authors all have new material coming out.

 Review: The Martians
While Joel's correct that all the main sequence Mars Trilogy stories in 'The Martians' is original, the first two stories set on Roger and Eileen's Mars-'Exploring Fossil Canyon' and 'Green Mars' were originally published in 1982 and 1985 respectively.
In addition to picking up a copy of 'Icehenge' as Stu suggests, may I recomend Robinson's 'Memory of Whiteness,' which is a concert tour/mystery from on end of the solar system to the other.
Finally, those interested in alternate history ought to know that is another area Robinson has dabbled in, with a couple of short stories under his belt as well as the soon to be published novel-'The Years of Rice and Salt'
