Through the three books we see space elevators, life extension, robotics and a glimpse of real martians and what they would probably look like. If there is any book you would like to sit down with, this should be at the top of the list. Robinson has the science down as well as excellent writing skills.

I like Bradbury's Martian Chronicles. I like his Fahrenheit 451 even better.

To be honest I think the most accurate or at least something of science fiction that comes close to a possible truth for our world and planet's future is the movie "Soylent Green".

Anything by Hal Clemet. All his books were extrapolations of hard science. What would it be like to live on a 600g world? Read "Mission of Gravity".
