在一方新樂土落地生根，或留在船艦上生活—當地球不再能居住，最後一批人搭上星艦Exodus Fleet離開，航向無垠太空。
選擇留在Exodus Fleet上的居民，物種與背景皆不相同，在這個宇宙一隅的小小社會裡，他們共同工作，不需要金錢，資源統一分配，所有人皆享同等的照顧，盡相同的義務。
為何留下？又為何離開？
Tessa並未與她的手足Ashby離開船艦，前往其他地方，而當他在此處的地位遭到威脅，她不得不思考當初留下的決定是否正確；年輕學徒Kip對日復一日的枯燥生活感到厭倦，他渴望冒險、渴望改變，卻不知該從何開始；還有初來乍到的Sawyer，試圖在宇宙中找到自己的歸屬。
而最重要的問題，也隨著船艦上數位居民的經歷與故事逐漸展開，而呼之欲出：
留下這樣一艘早已完成任務，抵達目的地的船艦，為的是什麼？
Becky Chambers was raised in California as the progeny of an astrobiology educator, an aerospace engineer, and an Apollo-era rocket scientist. Her first novel, The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet, was originally funded via Kickstarter in 2012. Her books have been nominated for the Kitschies Award, the Hugo Award, the Locus Award, the Arthus C. Clarke Award and the Women's Prize for Fiction, among others, and won the Prix Julia Verlanger.
After living in Scotland and Iceland, Becky is now back in her home state, where she lives with her spouse. She is a devotee of video and tabletop games, and enjoys spending time in nature. She hopes to see Earth from orbit one day.
