Author Annalee Newitz joins book club readers March 28 to discuss “The Terraformers” with Times columnist Carolina A. Miranda.
A sci-fi page turner set in a distant future, “The Terraformers” introduces Destry and the Environmental Rescue Team, an ancient organization devoted to preventing ecosystem collapse. On the planet Sask-E, her mission is to terraform an Earthlike world, with the help of her companion moose, Whistle. But when she discovers a hidden civilization inside a massive volcano, Destry must make a decision that echoes down the generations.
“An ingenious, galaxy-brain book” says reviewer Mark Athitakis in the L.A. Times.
“The reader of Annalee Newitz’s third novel, The Terraformers, will surely walk away, stunned and bedazzled,” says Paul di Filippo in the Washington Post.
Newitz is a California journalist, editor and author of fiction and nonfiction; previous novels include “The Future of Another Timeline” and “Autonomous.” As a science journalist, they are the author of “Four Lost Cities: A Secret History of the Urban Age” and “Scatter, Adapt and Remember: How Humans Will Survive a Mass Extinction,” a finalist for the LA Times Book Prize in science. Newitz founded the science fiction website io9 and served as editor-in-chief from 2008 to 2015, and then became editor-in-chief at Gizmodo.
