Jemisin A Most Anticipated in 2024 Pick for Goodreads | Lit Hub | Book Riot | She Reads | The Nerd Daily | New Scientist Celebrated author Sofia Samatar presents a mystical revolutionary space adventure for the exhausted dreamer in this brilliant science fiction novella tackling the carceral state and violence embedded in the ivory tower while embodying the legacy of Ursula K. Le Guin. The boy was raised as one of the Chained condemned to toil in the bowels of a mining ship out among the stars. His whole world changes literally when he is yanked upstairs and informed he has been given an opportunity to be educated at the ship's university alongside the elite. Overwhelmed and alone the boy forms a bond with the woman he comes to know as the professor a weary idealist and descendent of the Chained who has spent her career striving for validation from her more senior colleagues only to fall short at every turn. Together the boy and the woman will embark on a transformative journey to grasp the design of the chains that fetter them both and are the key to breaking free.
