To Be Taught, If Fortunate by Becky Chambers
In a future where space exploration is funded by public donations, a crew of four astronauts embarks on a mission to explore distant exoplanets, each transformed by a process called somaforming to adapt to the unique environments they encounter. As they journey through the cosmos, they grapple with the profound implications of their discoveries, the passage of time, and the isolation from Earth. Their mission becomes a poignant reflection on the human spirit, the pursuit of knowledge, and the ethical considerations of altering one's biology for the sake of exploration.
