Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

"The Terraformers is so engaging, you could almost miss the pyrotechnic world-building and bone-deep intelligence. Newitz continues doing some of the best work in the field. —James S. A. Corey, author of the Expanse series
Fascinating and readable in equal measure, The Terraformers will remake your mind like its cast remakes an entire planet. —John Scalzi, author of The Collapsing Empire
Newitz performs a staggering feat of revolutionary imagination in this hopeful space-opera. . . . With the ethos of Becky Chambers and the gonzo imagination of Samuel R. Delany, plus a strong scientific basis in ecology and urban planning, this feels like a new frontier in science fiction. —Publishers Weekly, STARRED review
Newitz always sees to the heart of complex systems and breaks them down with poetic ferocity. —N. K. Jemisin, author of the Broken Earth trilogy and The City We Became
"Brilliantly thoughtful, prescient, and gripping. —Martha Wells, author of The Murderbot Diaries
An incredibly emotional and action-packed novel deftly taking on personhood, corporate ownership, and terraforming. —Library Journal, STARRED review
A complete refurbishment of the great galactic story of terraformers. The old pleasures of the planetary romance are reanimated in kaleidoscopic fashion. Startling fun! —Kim Stanley Robinson, author of The Ministry for the Future
“Annalee Newitz’s ability to combine the wild west and the final frontier with plate tectonics and post humanism while spinning an epic tale that never loses sight of its characters is nothing short of magical. After reading The Terraformers you will want to live in Annalee Newitz’s future. —Javier Grillo-Marxuach, creator of The Middleman and producer on Lost and The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance
Newitz’s latest is far-reaching and ambitious but also surprisingly cozy and warm. . . . Newitz has a true gift for exploring the tweaks, movements, and decisions that keep history moving forward centuries ahead, and for digging into weighty issues while maintaining light humor, a delightful queer sensibility, and pure moments of joy. —Booklist, STARRED review
