Our book of the month

We've always been interested in the Red Planet, but David Baron's witty, sharp history shows how the world's fascination with Mars —and the aliens who might live there—reached fever pitch at the start of the 20th century.

It's been named a book of the year by the New Yorker and Time. We agree, which is why it's our pick for December 2025.
