Space Science Fiction Anthology

Le storie di Lavie Tidhar si possono leggere sia come racconti di fantascienza sia come estratti – emozionanti ed evocativi – della vita di personaggi ai margini di una società in espansione verso lo spazio. Storie di persone che, con poco o nulla da perdere, s'imbarcano su “carrette spaziali” per un viaggio dall'esito incerto. E poi c'è chi resta, chi spera di partire un giorno dal “Terminale Terra” e chi farebbe qualunque cosa – il killer, la webstar o il clonatore – pur di realizzare il sogno di riuscire ad andarsene per sempre.
