Science FictionSynopsis
The Diaspora Project aims to send ten thousand colonists to the stars aboard a city-sized starship, but a radical movement called Homeworld threatens sabotage to keep humanity earthbound. As the conflict intensifies, the novel explores whether the drive to explore space is a genetic imperative encoded in human DNA or a dangerous delusion that diverts resources from a damaged Earth.
