Grace Donner never thought she would go to Mars: she was raised in Cloister 11, a low-technology paradise walled off from the world outside. Now she has landed on a frontier world, an alien world—a world whose survival is threatened by loss of the very technology Grace disdains.

And in the midst of political ferment, luddite warfare, and technological disaster, Grace will face her own frontier: What is human? What is machine?
