Customer Reviews

Really engaging science fiction!

I’ve been trying to recapture my love of reading with anything I could find: classics, fantasy, YA...whatever as long as people swore up and down that it was “really good.” Defy the Stars is actually... really, really good! It’s the first non-textbook since high school that I’ve really gotten lost in. It handles the subjects of religion, environmentalism, and the ethics of technology quite well. How much do you owe your fellow humans, even though you’re light years apart physically and culturally opposed? Can an advanced enough machine simulate personhood convincingly? At what point do they actually have a “soul”?.

Definitely my favorite book

I absolutely love this book. It’s such a beautiful story that combines all of my favorite things. The author has truly created a masterpiece
