Worlds

Joe Haldeman’s remarkable Worlds trilogy is a true masterwork of speculative fiction written by one of the most visionary authors in science fiction. In Worlds, Worlds Apart, and Worlds Enough and Time, the acclaimed Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author of The Forever War imagines a near future rife with exhilarating and terrifying possibilities, when hundreds of thousands of human beings have abandoned the Earth’s surface to live in man-made habitats orbiting the troubled planet.
 
Haldeman’s science fiction saga follows young World dweller Marianne O’Hara of New New York from her arrival on Earth as a postgraduate student who becomes seduced by radical politics, through the Worlds’ war and their total devastation, and ultimately to Marianne’s emergence as a leader and quite possibly the last hope of the human race as it heads onward toward the stars.
