'Looking for a relatable isolation read after enduring so much
pandemic-fueled social isolation? This may be just the book you
need. Kate Greene's memoir recounts her time spent as a research
participant for NASA in a Mars simulation study. Over the course of
four months, Kate lived in insolation with a handful of other
participants inside a geodesic dome perched along a Hawaiian
volcanic slope. Kate pairs her story of simulating life on Mars
with reflections on her queer identity, her brother's disability,
and more.'
