Lightbreakers

Audaciously tackles life's most formative experiences: love and loss. Lightbreakers explores how people use both science and art to understand the universe-offering us its own insights into what it is to be human * Rumaan Alam, New York Times bestselling author of Entitlement and Leave the World Behind * Exists in a category all its own: a novel about grief, ambition, and love that is somehow both gripping and deeply felt, as breath-taking as it is mind-bending. Aja Gabel's prose is like music, vivid with wisdom, curiosity, and emotion. This is a book that tenderly examines the limits of our understanding-about the universe and each other-and the strangeness of living in time * Rachel Khong, New York Times bestselling author of Real Americans * Lightbreakers is compassionate and prismatic, an intellectual adventure as well as a deeply human meditation on memory, family, and reinvention. To what extent-and at what cost-can the past sustain us? How can we step into the future without abandoning our previous selves? Aja Gabel's second novel is my favorite kind: soulful science fiction that speaks to the mind as well as the heart * Chloe Benjamin, New York Times bestselling author of The Immortalists * A magisterial and moving novel about love and grief that is somehow unsentimental and yet extraordinarily tender . . . Lightbreakers is complex, startling, and impossibly alive * Kevin Wilson, New York Times bestselling author of Nothing to See Here * A marriage story that twists into a sci-fi thriller, posing questions about the elusiveness of the past and the time-jumping nature of grief. Like walking down a hall of mirrors, mesmerized by its reflections and refractions, reading Lightbreakers made me see things anew * Ling Ma, author of Severance *
