About this book
With nuclear war looming, the United States decides that the only way for humanity to survive is on Mars, and that people must be rebuilt for the planet's thin air. When the first candidate for conversion dies, astronaut Roger Torraway takes his place.
His body is rebuilt in stages: new eyes, a thick skin, wings to gather the sun's heat. At each one, he is a little further from his wife and his old self. A short and ironic Nebula Award-winning novel about what it costs to become the future.
