The Martian Chronicles

Leaving behind a world on the brink of destruction, we came to the Red Planet & found the Martians waiting, dreamlike. Seeking the promise of a new beginning, we brought our oldest fears & deepest desires. Humanity conquered Mars--& in that instant, Mars conquered us. The strange new world with its ancient, dying race & vast, red-gold deserts cast a spell, settled into dreams, changing us forever.
