Mars (Ellis)

Earth in 2086 is under complete corporate control. Even air and water are controlled by corporations. Moving resources from one area to another is illegal (unless the same corporation controls both areas' resources). These corporate interests have enslaved mankind by controlling the currency. Scout Ellison and his group want to start a new society without currency. This new society is completely illegal.

After Scout Ellison and his group build a colony on Mars, the colonists arrive. The new society without money is starting to take shape. Then they declare independence from Earth. The military-industrial complex won't allow that. The leaders of DeNoPE decide to take action. They want the colony disbanded and the members arrested. They send a military force to Mars to retrieve Scout and his group. They don't realize that Mars is defended. The Martians have freedom, and that's worth all the hardships in the universe.
