A revolutionary experiment in space opens a woman’s eyes to the meaning of solitude in a thought-provoking short story by New York Times bestselling, award-winning author Nnedi Okorafor.

Tornado Onwubiko is one of seven people on Earth paired with sentient ships to explore and research the cosmos for twenty million euros. A decade of solitary life for a lifetime of wealth. Five years into the ten-year mission of total isolation comes a consolation: a temporary meetup among fellow travelers. A lot can happen in a week. For Tornado, who left a normal life behind, a little company can be life-changing.

Character focused on characters that didn't interest me

The first six people to be given living space ships are then sent out to explore the solar system. After 5 years solo, they meet up near Jupiter. Like a reality show, this story is all about the drama of the interactions between an ensemble. Also like a reality show, it only works if the reader cares about the characters. I did not. You might.
