About the Book:
When a prion plague begins hollowing out the human mind, Nobel laureate Maja Nygaard builds the only lifeboat left: a machine that destroys the body to preserve the self. Her Teleprinter can take a person apart atom by atom and print them anew on Titan. It is escape—
but also exile. Every survivor becomes a refugee from their own flesh.
Fleeing Earth with her brilliant, volatile creation—the quantum child Phanes—Maja leads the last remnant of humanity toward a future none of them can yet comprehend. Titan is no promised land; it is a frontier that will remake anyone who reaches it. Each reprint is a mutation, each body a revision, each survival a step further from what human beings used to be.
As nations fall and the last signals from Earth dissolve into grief, Maja finally confronts the question she has spent a lifetime avoiding:
If you have to die to live, what endures? And if every reprint changes you, are you crossing the void as a refugee… or arriving as something new?
My Review:
I started reading this book but was quickly lost. There is action right away but was not preceded by world building so I had no idea what was going on. I quit reading and cannot give a review of this book. I grew up reading science fiction and still like it but this novel was not for me.
Medlara.
I received a complimentary egalley of this book through Books Go Social and NetGalley.
