Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Six stories from the first century on Mars - and the last days of the universe.In "Potted Plants in Tin Cans," an intelligence grows a child from cells and Martian clay, and a family learns what it means to raise her. In "Mirror," a device that reads your body changes how people shop, love, and see each other. In "A Rocket to Mars," a proxy called Renata builds the first school on another world. In "Common Ground," a charter written in a single night declares: every child loved, no child owned. In "The Gardeners," the children of Mars carry the red dust of home to new worlds. And in "The End of the Universe," the last star ever built flickers out.Tender, funny, and unsettling by turns, Rocket to Mars asks what it means to be human when people can be grown, when machines can be mothers, and when the ground itself belongs to everyone. At its heart, it is a book about mothers and children, and about what we owe the generations we make.Zorina Alliata is a Romanian-American author of fiction and non-fiction books. She lives just outside Washington, DC with her husband, her son, and way too many pets. Outside of writing, she loves animals, robots, the ocean, and theories of everything.
