  • Summary

  • Victoria is the 'wild card' pioneer on a ship that carries all the hope for the future of humanity. Every seven weeks Victoria and one of her shipmates (on an all-female crew) is woken up. For several days they conduct inspections of the ship and its precious cargo of seeds and embryos – and converse with the ship AI, Athena. When the ship tells Victoria that it has identified a planet that could be their new home it also sets her a moral dilemma that will have lasting repercussions.

    The award-winning Chris Beckett interrogates the nature of happiness, purpose and duty.

What is the meaning of human life?

Really excellent philosophical thought experiment about the meaning of life, set on a human survivalist space ship.
