A Cuban-American president's granddaughter goes to college on a space satellite, to escape Earth's invasion by an alien plague. JENNY RAMOS KENNEDY, a student cloned from a Cuban-American president, goes to college on a space satellite to escape Earth's invasion by an alien plague. Frontera College keeps students safe from the War on Ultra, the invading ultraphytes that spray cyanide on what remains of the Earth's overheated ecosystem. Jenny picks courses on Toynet, the virtual reality network, while keeping her best friend out of Guantanamo for hacking the Pentagon, and covering the bizarre incidents of her neurodivergent roomate. Meanwhile in class, her geocentrist professor expounds the wisdom of Aristotle, while her biology professor explains how life will go extinct. For biology lab, Jenny and her friends decide to save Earth from extinction. They make mutant plants that will end the War on Ultra, fix Earth's climate and make humans wiser than Aristotle. But the semester's almost done, and their experiment has just one chance...

One of the most respected writers of hard SF, it has been more than ten years since Joan Slonczewski's last novel. Now she returns with a spectacular tour de force of the college of the future, in orbit. Jennifer Ramos Kennedy, a girl from a rich and politically influential family (a distant relation descended from the famous Kennedy clan), whose twin brother has died in an accident and left her bereft, is about to enter her freshman year at Frontera College. Frontera is an exciting school built with media money, and a bit from tribal casinos too, dedicated to educating the best and brightest of this future world. We accompany Jenny as she proceeds through her early days at school, encountering surprises and wonders and some unpleasant problems. The Earth is altered by global warming, and an invasive alien species called ultraphytes threatens the surviving ecosystem. Jenny is being raised for great things, but while she's in school she just wants to do her homework, go on a few dates, and get by. The world that Jenny is living in is one of the most fascinating and creative in contemporary SF, and the problems Jenny faces will involve every reader, young and old.

Have you ever wanted to live in space? To see the majesty of Earth from orbit, to play in a zero-gravity wonderland, and be on the cutting edge of civilization? Such a place may be built sooner than you think. New scientific research, new technological developments, and new social trends are all combining to make settlements in space easier than ever to build. Not long ago Al Globus, a space settlement expert and software engineering contractor at NASA Ames Research Center, made two key scientific discoveries: - that equatorial low earth orbit (ELEO) has vastly lower radiation than most other places in space, - and that humans can adapt to rotating space structures faster than many people thought possible. These discoveries, combined with a fast-developing rocket industry and burgeoning financial and political support for space development, mean that humanity may be on the brink of a building boom in orbit. In a few decades space settlements could vastly improve life on Earth by developing new technologies, unlocking trillions of dollars of raw materials and energy in space, and opening up a new frontier for all humankind. In this fast-paced book learn how your future in space is closer than you think!
