I finished Samantha Harvey's "Orbital" (winner of the 2024 Booker Prize). The author set out to write a "space pastoral" and boy howdy did she succeed. Lavishly evocative prose describing the outrageous act of having six humans circle the globe every 90 minutes exposed to the terrible, beautiful depth of space on one side and to the broad, invisibly-occupied Earth on the other... And it's short! Recommended for space nerds and fans of poetic prose.
