Résumé

On a world where music is illegal, everybody hums one song. Hiley OIV would love to have neighbors. He dreams of tying his home to a group of others during Ut's warm season, when the ground melts and the homes float about the planetoid. He would enjoy the comradery of neighbors, the card games and cookouts, and simply not floating away from everyone he meets. But it seems few enjoy his company long term. Because as much as he would enjoy neighbors, Hiley fears for his family's safety. And his lists of imagined dangers, risky behaviors, and outlandish scenarios prove too difficult for even his family to bear. So, when Hiley's teenage daughter rebels by bringing her rule-breaking boyfriend into their home, Hiley must manage a precarious situation beyond any potential danger found on his lists. Or risk losing his family forever. Sudanna, Sudanna's mix of eccentric humor, curious alien cultures, and fascinating technology elevates this fantastic science fiction novel into a thought-provoking examination of a society disturbed by colonization.
