Status Updates From Crónicas marcianas

Hokey, but doesn't take itself seriously; stories often silly, some creepy. Feels aimed at tweens/YA audience. Stories published independently but connect in way that mostly maintains trajectory of a novel, including buildup of story. Religious tone in some stories, especially 4th expedition which looks down on atheism. Anti-colonialist motif that dips into 'noble savage' territory; still evocative for its time.
