As part of the Environmental Rescue Team, she cares for the planet and its burgeoning eco-systems as her parents and their parents did before her.

'The Terraformers is so engaging, you could almost miss the pyrotechnic worldbuilding and bone-deep intelligence. Newitz continues doing some of the best work in the field' James S. A. Corey 'A complete reimagining of the great galactic story of terraformers. Startling fun!' Kim Stanley Robinson 'Newitz always sees to the heart of complex systems and breaks them down with poetic ferocity' N. K. Jemisin Also by Annalee Newitz Autonomous The Future of Another Timeline
