To sleep in a sea of stars [sound recording] / by Paolini, Christopher,author.; Hale, Jennifer,narrator.; Macmillan Audio (Firm),publisher.;
Read by Jennifer Hale.Kira Navárez dreamed of life on new worlds. Now she's awakened a nightmare. During a routine survey mission on an uncolonized planet, Kira finds an alien relic. At first she's delighted, but elation turns to terror when the ancient dust around her begins to move. As war erupts among the stars, Kira is launched into a galaxy-spanning odyssey of discovery and transformation. First contact isn't at all what she imagined, and events push her to the very limits of what it means to be human. While Kira faces her own horrors, Earth and its colonies stand upon the brink of annihilation. Now, Kira might be humanity's greatest and final hope.

The memory librarian : and other stories of Dirty computer / by Monáe, Janelle,author.; Delgado, Yohanca,author.; Ewing, Eve L.,author.; Johnson, Alaya Dawn,1982-author.; Lore, Danny,author.; Thomas, Sheree R.,author.; Monáe, Janelle.Nevermind.; Monáe, Janelle.Save changes.; Monáe, Janelle.Timebox altar(ed); Monáe, Janelle.Timebox.; based on (expression):Monáe, Janelle.Dirty computer.;
"Whoever controls our memories controls the future. Janelle Monáe and an incredible array of talented collaborating creators have written a collection of tales comprising the bold vision and powerful themes that have made Monáe such a compelling and celebrated storyteller. Dirty Computer introduced a world in which thoughts-as a means of self-conception-could be controlled or erased by a select few. And whether human, A.I., or other, your life and sentience was dictated by those who'd convinced themselves they had the right to decide your fate. That was until Jane 57821 decided to remember and break free. Expanding from that mythos, these stories fully explore what it's like to live in such a totalitarian existence ... and what it takes to get out of it. Building off the traditions of speculative writers such as Octavia Butler, Ted Chiang, Becky Chambers, and Nnedi Okorafor-and filled with the artistic genius and powerful themes that have made Monáe a worldwide icon in the first place-The Memory Librarian serves readers tales grounded in the human trials of identity expression, technology, and love, but also reaching through to the worlds of memory and time within, and the stakes and power that exists there"--
