The Baroness is from a collection of twelve stories, with the working title of Everyone on Mars: stories from the Red Shift. In these stories set in the near future, despite all obstacles humanity has colonised Mars, largely for its minerals as foreseen by previous generations of writers, such as the great Philip K. Dick. The collection is an imagining of the impact — psychological, interpersonal, existential — of our colonisation.
