Orbital

by Samantha Harvey. A fictional account of one day in the life of six astronauts from different countries aboard the space station orbiting the earth. A beautiful, thoughtful meditation on life, on humankind, on the earth, and our place in the universe. Interesting look at the individual vs the community, and at the astronauts both as individual humans with their own hopes and aspirations and as simply automatons, carrying out experiments for the good of humanity back on earth.
