Condición: Gut. Erste Auflage dieser Ausgabe. 255 (1) Seiten Guter Zustand. Obere vordere Buchecke mit einer kleinen Stauchung. It is only a few decades into the future. Humanity's ability to conceive children has been severely reduced by pollution and disease. Kids are scarce and desirable, adoption is almost impossible. Three people are entangled in a life-threatening web. A teenage girl sees something shocking and illegal, but is disciplined and told she is a liar. She goes to an elderly doctor, the only one who suspects she might be telling the truth. And a man wakes up one morning calmed by a drug that helps edit unpleasant memories -- but with his testicles gone. - Nancy Kress (* 20. Januar 1948 in Buffalo, New York als Nancy Anne Koningisor) ist eine US-amerikanische Science-Fiction-Schriftstellerin. Sie ist fünffache Nebula Award-Preisträgerin und erhielt zweimal den Hugo Award. Leben: Nancy Kress wuchs in East Aurora auf und besuchte das College am SUNY Plattsburgh und Brockport, das sie mit einem M.S. in Erziehungswissenschaften und einem M.A. in Englisch abschloss.[1] Sie arbeitete als Grundschullehrerin und zog 1973 wegen ihrer Heirat mit Michael Joseph Kress nach Rochester. Aus der 1984 geschiedenen Ehe gingen zwei Söhne hervor; während einer der Schwangerschaften begann sie zu schreiben. Nancy Kress arbeitete für eine Werbeagentur, wechselte 1990 in den Status einer freischaffenden Autorin und heiratete 1998 den SF-Schriftsteller Charles Sheffield, der 2002 starb.[1] Sie zog daraufhin nach Rochester zurück, um in der Nähe ihrer inzwischen erwachsenen Kinder zu sein. Im Winter 2008/09 lebte Kress in Deutschland und unterrichtete als Picador Guest Professor[2] am American Studies Leipzig Institut. In dieser Funktion gab sie auch mehrere Lesungen in Deutschland. 1976 begann sie Science-Fiction zu schreiben. Bekannt wurde sie aber erst 1991 durch die Erzählung Beggars in Spain (deutsch Bettler in Spanien). Für diese wurden ihr der Hugo- und der Nebula-Award verliehen; sie wurde später zu dem gleichnamigen Roman erweitert. Viele Werke von Kress handeln in einer nahen Zukunft. Häufig thematisiert sie Gen- und Nanotechnologie sowie ihre Konsequenzen. Bis zum Ende der 1980er Jahre waren ihre Geschichten eher dem Fantasy-Genre zuzuordnen, seitdem schreibt sie überwiegend sogenannte Hard Science-Fiction. .
