About the book: 2010 / Although the work presented below was published in 1996, there is something from the early 1980s, something pre-cyberpunk, something Sterling . This, if you try to imagine such an impossible hybrid, is a Ballardian space opera about a crazy artist on Umbriel, one of the moons of Uranus, and its central character, like the central character of the entire Plenty trilogy, is Tabitha Jute - cool, cynical woman - space captain. This is a 1990s Leigh Brackett in some ways. There is a biographical note.
