Synopsis: Love and death. Power and responsibility. AI and superintelligence. Hoshimi Lancaster is different. Born with severe disabilities, she lives on the other side of the glass, looking in. But her father Jordan is lead scientist at ExoCortex, a cutting-edge technology firm developing brain-computer interfaces, and she is the first human subject to receive a full array of implants. By linking her brain to enormous cloud computing resources, ExoCortex promises a way to regain normal function. But what if the technology allows more than just normal function? What if it offers a pathway to greater than human intelligence? More than the Sun and Stars is a captivating and awe-inspiring exploration of what it means to be a child and a parent, to have power and responsibility, and to retain one's identity in the face of staggering technological change.
