Books like Noumenon by Marina J. Lostetter
In 2088 humanity prepares to venture beyond the Solar System, led by astrophysicist Reggie Straifer who identifies a mysterious star that challenges physics. To sustain the fleet’s genetic talent over the centuries required for the voyage, clones are employed aboard the nine-spacecraft Convoy Seven. Each generation of clones carries its own quirks and neuroses, and over the centuries the crew’s society evolves while the mission remains the same: reach the anomalous star and uncover its nature. The novel follows this intergenerational quest through a series of vignettes, examining the dedication, growth, and cooperation required as humans, clones, and an AI co‑exist in the vacuum of space, pushing the boundaries of knowledge and imagination.
