In the future, instead of terraforming planets to sustain human life, explorers of the galaxy transform themselves.

*FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR*

At the turn of the twenty-second century, scientists make a breakthrough in human spaceflight. Through a revolutionary method known as somaforming, astronauts can survive in hostile environments off Earth using synthetic biological supplementations. They can produce antifreeze in sub-zero temperatures, absorb radiation and convert it for food, and conveniently adjust to the pull of different gravitational forces. With the fragility of the body no longer a limiting factor, human beings are at last able to explore neighbouring exoplanets long suspected to harbour life.

Ariadne is one such explorer. On a mission to ecologically survey four habitable worlds fifteen light-years from Earth, she and her fellow crewmates sleep while in transit, and wake each time with different features. But as they shift through both form and time, life back on Earth has also changed. Faced with the possibility of returning to a planet that has forgotten those who have left, Ariadne begins to chronicle the wonders and dangers of her journey, in the hope that someone back home might still be listening.

Kritikerröster

Becky Chambers takes space opera in a whole new and unexpected direction, her books bring me so much joy
Outstanding . . . Chambers packs an immense amount of story into a novella worthy of full-length praise
Epic in the scale of discoveries but with a miniaturist's eye for detail, and as revealing of the observers as the observed. In a word, brilliant
Some of the most forward-thinking, inspiring science fiction out there . . . a joyful antidote to crushed spirits and a celebration of the power of curiosity, love, adventure and discovery
[A] compelling exploration of home, family, and what makes us human in the midst of all that isn't, but could be. An extraordinary picture of humanity among the stars.
Rendered with startling clarity, Chambers' latest offering is a short but fierce ode to humanity and all our reaches and flaws. Unputdownable
Extraordinary . . . A future sci-fi masterwork in a new and welcome tradition
The best speculative fiction currently being written . . . Becky Chambers is a wonder, and I feel better for having her books in my life
There's a quiet beauty to Chambers' writing that envelopes you in her story and holds you tight until the very end. Proof that a novel doesn't have to depth, meaning and intelligence.
Chambers creates an energy of hope and determination with every word, bringing life to space travel and the wonders - and traumas - of Earth's possible future
An exquisite expression of our moment in time. Here's why we need to keep going boldly into space - not to exploit, but to learn. Impressive and essential
With deft prose and her usual flair for excellent characterization, Becky Chambers brings a cast of astronauts through time, space, and physical form to show us what it means to be human on this side of the galaxy
a lovely, gentle, uncompromisingly character-centred piece of work
Chambers delivers a story that simultaneously invites readers into her vision of the future, and pleads for an interrogation of our present . . . To Be Taught, If Fortunate deserves the stars and more
Becky Chambers writes aliens like no one else ... the only flaw in this series is you'll wish you could spend more time with all of them

it's a great book, a great story, awesome ideas, and awesome characters and I loved the characters community.
Queernorm...

MILD SPOILERS
... and polypositive.
it's an utopia of how a long haul mission could take place really, how the community could work, how it would be possible to live together for that much time on so less space.
I loved it from beginning to end.
even thou i'm not sure about the end...

I loved it!

Okay so I love all of Becky Chambers Wayferer books so with this one I was like: "oh, a short story, this will be nice :D" and it was, but also: wtf. I needed a moment after the end to fully comprehend what really happened.
For the time being, this book really took me into the universe of space traveling and exploring. It was fresh and exciting to follow the characters on their journey and discover new things and go on avdenture. It's also very easy to listen to and well produced. If you have a free afternoon, just listen to it in one go and then cry a bit, you are welcome.

Great short exploration with an ending that sticks

It’s a gorgeously written book from the view of an astronaut who beautifully guides you through the story of her and her crew mates.
As a science nerd, that side of the story was well explored but also explained in a way that should have meaning to most readers, regardless of their background.
It’s not very long, so the beauty of it is to just take a couple of hours and let yourself be taken into a completely different world (and galaxy) and enjoy the journey :)

Wonderful adventure
