Semiosis by Sue Burke
Burke, Sue. 2018. Semiosis. New York, NY: Tor/Forge, an imprint of Macmillan Publishing. ISBN 978-076539135. $25.99 USD.
Semiosis is a creative and unusual science fiction tale that describes several generations of space colonists who, hoping to create a self-sustaining utopia on Pax, find themselves sharing the planet with sentient beings - not all of whom are friendly to humans. I found this novel to be fascinating in the way it tells a different kind of story with each generation, such as space exploration and colonization, mystery, domestic drama and even horror. It addresses so many issues about life and humanity, and whether we are destined to repeat the past or learn as a society to do things differently. Really well done! From someone who doesn't normally read a lot of science fiction, I highly recommend Semiosis.
Happy Reading!
