	Encyclopedia: Titan (novel by Stephen Baxter) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Baxter's novel presents a thrilling but rather exaggerated vision of attitudes toward space exploration in the early twenty-first century in which Baxter vents his spleen about anti-intellectualism and the loss of the pioneering spirit in modern American politics.
		In Baxter's novel, America is ruled by a fundamentalist Christian president who is so hostile to science that he believes Earth is the centre of the universe and orders the equal treatment of the Ptolemaic model of the solar system in high school curricula.
		The novel's final chapter has been heavily criticized for excessive implausibilty, but it can be read as deliberate wishful thinking: it epitomises Baxter's moral that if the human race is to survive indefinitely, it must become more proactive in its approach to space travel, and not resort to shallow militarism or nationalist isolationism.

		These hydrocarbons are thought to form in Titan's upper atmosphere in reactions resulting from the breakup of methane by the Sun's ultraviolet light, producing a thick orange smog, and Titan's surface may be coated in a tar-like layer of organic precipitate called tholin.
		Titan's surface features will be better understood by late 2004, when Cassini will use radar mapping techniques during several close flybys of the moon.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Titan
		Titan is well written and has a large, epic, cast of characters, many of whom are likable and well-rounded.
		If the novels have something more to say than just propound on the need for space exploration, they will be interesting, otherwise, Baxter should turn his attention to other endeavors.
		Titan was reasonably enjoyable, however, at 581 pages, it did tend to drag frequently, especially as Benacerraf's team was working on the proposal and ramping up to the launch.

	Vonnegut: The Sirens of Titan
		The Sirens of Titan is naïve literature in every way possible, since it is a formulaic type (science fiction), employs formulaic characters, episodes, themes, properties, and settings, and is written in a remarkably simple style that, though not particularly formulaic, nevertheless includes evidence of formulaic epithets and phrase-tags.
		Science fiction is that class of prose narrative treating of a situation that could not arise in the world we know, but which is hypothesised on the basis of some innovation in science or technology, or pseudo-science or pseudo-technology, whether human or extra-terrestrial in origin.
		It has become apparent, that The Sirens of Titan is neither a straightforward science fiction novel nor a parody of science fiction,12 but that it rather uses the conventions of the genre as a vehicle for other ends which could be broadly described as satiric.

	Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.: The Sirens of Titan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		However, Vonnegut's overriding purpose in The Sirens of Titan was to provide a social satire in which he could poke fun at the military, religion and the stock market.
		The opening of the novel, in which Vonnegut explores Malachi Constant and Beatrice Rumsfoord and their respective rises and falls in fortune is the most interesting and target portion of the novel.
		Whereas their would be shown as an element of fascism and tyranny in "Harrison Bergeron", in The Sirens of Titan it merely is a quirk of a strange religion.
