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?
Forces beyond ExoCortex alone are at work in the world, however, and as Hoshimi uncovers more of the truth about her own transformation, she learns she isn't the only new kind of mind that exists. And whatever her father might have imagined for their future together, fate has very different plans for them.
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. This remarkable story raises profound questions about human nature, technology, and what our future may hold.
