Since Mars' magnetosphere is so much weaker, it'd probably be under ground though to avoid too much radiation.
the underground dystopia is much preferred
Man we could build the tunnel cities right here on earth or maybe on the moon or something, Mars seems pretty far just to bury ourselves underground there. What about Terraforming?
In a couple hundred years hopefully, but I don't think even tera forming can restart the mantle spinning for a magnetosphere. Maybe giant generators that could shield small settlement areas? Or rewrite our genome to be more resistant to radiation?
