I love this book because it is deeply scientific with a good plot. I always appreciate books that attempt to make things as scientifically accurate as possible. I understand that science fiction books must take some liberties for the sake of the plot—in fact, I believe that they should. But the liberties should be believable.

Also, who doesn’t love a great book about an explanation for the origins of humanity? With what scientists can do with genetics now, it’s really fun to think about what studying the human genome can teach us.

From Danny's list on The best books on unlikely protagonists overcoming humanity's darkness to face dire threats in dying worlds.
