Newitz continues doing some of the best work in the field."- James S. " The Terraformers is so engaging, you could almost miss the pyrotechnic world-building and bone-deep intelligence. Jemisin, author of the Broken Earth trilogy and The City We Became “Newitz always sees to the heart of complex systems and breaks them down with poetic ferocity.”- N. "Brilliantly thoughtful, prescient, and gripping.” - Martha Wells, The Murderbot Diaries Newitz’s mordant sense of humor steers the story clear of starry-eyed optimism, but it’s easy to imagine future generations studying this novel as a primer for how to embrace solutions to the challenges we all face."- Scientific American " The Terraformers, refreshingly, is the opposite of the dystopian, we’re-all-doomed chiller that’s become so common in climate fiction. Delany, plus a strong scientific basis in ecology and urban planning, this feels like a new frontier in science fiction."- Publishers Weekly, STARRED review With the ethos of Becky Chambers and the gonzo imagination of Samuel R. "Newitz performs a staggering feat of revolutionary imagination in this hopeful space-opera. But when they're threatened with violent diaspora, Misha and Sulfur's very unusual child faces a stark choice: deploy a planet-altering weapon, or watch their people lose everything they've built on Sask-E. Working with a team of robots, naked mole rats, and a very angry cyborg cow, they quietly sow seeds of subversion. Together, they uncover a dark secret about the real estate company that's buying up huge swaths of the planet-a secret that could destroy the lives of everyone who isn't Homo sapiens. Torn between loyalty to the ERT and the truth of the planet's history, Destry makes a decision that echoes down the generations.Ĭenturies later, Destry's protege, Misha, is building a planetwide transit system when his worldview is turned upside-down by Sulfur, a brilliant engineer from the volcano city. But then she discovers a city that isn't supposed to exist, hidden inside a massive volcano. On the planet Sask-E, her mission is to terraform an Earthlike world, with the help of her taciturn moose, Whistle. Destry is a top network analyst with the Environmental Rescue Team, an ancient organization devoted to preventing ecosystem collapse.
