ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Aurora" by Kim Stanley Robinson tells the story of a multigenerational starship carrying over two thousand people on a voyage to Tau Ceti, 11.9 light-years from Earth. The ship is a self-contained world, with biomes replicating Earth's ecosystems.

The story follows the challenges they face, from ecological problems to social conflicts, as they try to reach a new home and what happens after getting there. The ship itself, with its artificial intelligence, becomes a character, grappling with questions of consciousness and its role in the journey. The main themes are survival, the complexities of closed ecosystems, and the human drive to explore, and the story questions whether this kind of travel is possible.
