Becky Chambers' To Be Taught, If Fortunate
Chambers' latest is a stand-alone; I don't think it's set even in the same universe as her Wayfarers books (which is to say: you can read this even if you haven't read those--though you SHOULD read them). It's set in the semi-near future, and centers on a crew of four astronaut-scientists exploring some habitable exoplanets far, far away (thanks to exciting feats of bioengineering etc). I don't want to really describe the plot, such as it is--this is more of a sort of character study, and a study of the wonders of the universe, and connections between people, and the people left behind. I will be thinking about this one for a while, for sure. A/A-.
