The DC trilogy is more like the Mars books than the California books, because Robinson is positing smaller social changes than he did in the California trilogy and because his characters are his standard policy wonks, who obviously wouldn't exist in the same form in his alternate Californias. My favorite of his books is the short story collection Remaking History, which I think shows a greater breadth of imagination than anything other than the California books.
