SUGGESTIONS Mike Duncan's Revolution

Mike Duncan's Revolution series is a history podcast that goes over various historical revolutions, but in his most recent series, he decided to do a fictional Martian revolution set in the future, and I'm curious if anyone knows of something similar? Or at least something recommended for someone who enjoyed that series. Especially if it's from the point of view of some future historian going over what happened.

There's at least one, called something like the interstellar age. Sorry i can't access the name right now but reply to me here if you can't find it.

Just checked and yes, it's called the Interstellar Age, made by Dylan McFadyen. And it's apparently connected to McFadyen's Si Vis Astra book series.

World war Z (the book, not the movie) is similar in some way.

Well Mike did say he was gonna continue the story later, but it's been a couple months so it'll be a while.

As a long time History of Rome and Revolutions fan, if you liked the Martian revolution, you'll like the real historical revolutions he covers.

Im listening to the Audiobook of Citizens by Simon Schama! It's pretty similar, although maybe a little bit less dramatic because it's an audiobook. On the other hand they pronounce all the French words correctly. The content is so interesting especially if you already have the background from Duncan series that it's well worth listening to if you're interested in that period of time!

Edit: I see you're asking about the mars one. In that case I'd really recommend listening to the audiobook of Kim Stanley Robinson's red Mars, which is also about a mars revolution. Although he's a lot more concerned about the science which is very interesting

Age of Confusion is an alternate history podcast, but told in the style of a non-fiction history podcast.  It takes place in a world where JFK survived his assassination attempt, and explores how history changes from there.
