Stellaris: People of the Stars (Paperback) Les Johnson & Robert E. Hampson

BECOMING THE PEOPLE OF THE STARS

Fundamental transformation. That is what it may take to reach our final destination. And we may not have a choice as dangers from without and pressure from within human civilization force us to adapt to a new star-traveling heritage. We may find that Homo sapiens is on its way to becoming a new and unique species. Homo stellaris: people of the stars.
