ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
“A Closed and Common Orbit” by Becky Chambers explores themes of identity, autonomy, and self-discovery. The story follows two characters: Jane, a young woman who escapes an oppressive factory system, and Sidra, an artificial intelligence who is transferred into a humanoid body. Both struggle with understanding their purpose and navigating their newfound freedom. As they confront the challenges of autonomy and the desire to define themselves beyond external expectations, the novel delves into questions about consciousness, personal growth, and the complexities of being human, all set in a richly imagined, diverse sci-fi world.
