Terraforming in popular culture information


Terraforming is well represented in contemporary literature, usually in the form of science fiction, as well as in popular culture.[1][2] While many stories involving interstellar travel feature planets already suited to habitation by humans and supporting their own indigenous life, some authors prefer to address the unlikeliness of such a concept by instead detailing the means by which humans have converted inhospitable worlds to ones capable of supporting life through artificial means.
