A very thought-provoking novella from Becky Chambers! There is curiosity, joy, fear, hope, despair, grief, and introspection. It it not filled with excitement and adventures through space; it's the day-to-day, week-to-week studies of extraterrestrial life and the mission to "catalogue, not to colonise."

I thoroughly enjoyed the audiobook, as it truly felt like listening to Ari's field notes and recordings.
