Open Earth by Sarah Mirk
4.0

Rigo lives on the space station California, a self-sufficient community that has lost all contact with the planet still visible below. The older generation is nostalgic for life on Earth, but Rigo is fully immersed in the norms of the station. Her generation freely explore queer, polyamorous relationships in which the biggest challenges are fitting in quality time with multiple partners around everyone's busy work schedules. Short and sweet, this book presents a hopeful view of a new civilization born after the end of the world.
