It takes a long time to get from one star to another. Meanwhile generations live and die on a spaceship, condemned to small horizons by their ancestors who longed for distant lights. Add a touch of “things break” and a hint of machine intelligence, and the result is a wholly believable tale of small-town homes on a small-world ship, heading for big-world dreams and hopes. Once enough things have broken though, the travelers might question if the dream itself is broken. Can science really tame another world to be our home? Can relationships really cope with changing from the dangerously familiar to unfamiliar danger? And will it really work?
