ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

To Be Taught, If Fortunate by Becky Chambers chronicles the extended space voyage of a dedicated crew aboard the Merian, undertaking ecological surveys of potentially life-bearing exoplanets. Utilizing a unique method of biological adaptation to different worlds, the team meticulously studies the diverse ecosystems of Aecor, Mirabilis, and Opera, facing the wonders and challenges of alien life. As their mission progresses to Votum, an unsettling silence from Earth leaves the crew questioning their purpose and the fate of humanity. The narrative thoughtfully explores themes of scientific discovery, the resilience of life, and human connection against the backdrop of interstellar exploration and profound uncertainty.
