Synopsis
Alice C. Ellen's cybernetic enhancements, finely-tailored genes, and potentially indefinite lifespan make her an altogether average fifteen-year-old in the late 22nd century. Being the next target of the Solar System's most notorious terrorist organisation is, on the other hand, thankfully rather unusual.Upon leaving her cramped American megacity for the prestigious Stellar Academy on the Moon, Alice begins to unravel a web of secrets connecting her family, the Academy, and the criminals - and learns a little more about what it means to be human in the process.'What a Time to Be Alice ' blurs the line between artificial and natural in a love letter to science and science fiction, promising a hard sci-fi adventure and an optimistic tale of technology gone right.
