About the Book

"Il futuro come non lo avete mai immaginato." - Tom's Hardware

E se tutta la tua vita, tutti i tuoi ricordi, tutto ciò che sei fosse solo un inganno?

Nel ventiduesimo secolo le conseguenze di un improvviso evento catastrofico di portata globale avvenuto pochi anni prima ha alterato profondamente le priorità di nazioni e governi e ha dato una grossa spinta verso un maggiore sviluppo tecnologico, con un particolare interesse nei riguardi della conquista dello spazio.
Ma, per quanto l'Agenzia Spaziale Internazionale sia in grado di costruire mezzi sempre più sofisticati per andare ben oltre i confini del sistema solare, ciò che impedisce veramente all'umanità di compiere lunghi viaggi verso altri mondi è la sua stessa natura fisica, perfezionata per vivere sulla Terra e inadatta ad affrontare per molti anni le condizioni estreme dello spazio profondo.
Gli scienziati inglesi Gabriel Asbury e sua moglie Elizabeth Caldwell hanno, però, trovato un modo per ovviare a questo problema: migliorare l'Uomo stesso.

"L'isola di Gaia" è ambientato nello stesso universo immaginario di "Deserto rosso", 35 anni dopo la sua fine, ed è la seconda parte del ciclo di fantascienza dell'Aurora. Nel romanzo sono presenti nuovi personaggi e nuove storie, ma fa una breve apparizione anche qualche vecchia conoscenza.
About the Author: Nata a Carbonia nel 1974, Rita Carla Francesca Monticelli vive a Cagliari dal 1993, dove lavora come scrittrice, oltre che traduttrice letteraria e scientifica. Laureata in Scienze Biologiche nel 1998, in passato ha ricoperto il ruolo di ricercatrice, tutor e assistente della docente di Ecologia presso il Dipartimento di Biologia Animale ed Ecologia dell'Università degli Studi di Cagliari.
Dal 2009 si occupa di narrativa.
Tra il 2012 e il 2013 ha pubblicato la serie di fantascienza "Deserto rosso", composta da quattro volumi disponibili sia separatamente che sotto forma di raccolta.
Grazie alla pubblicazione di questa serie nel 2014 è stata indicata da Wired Magazine come una dei dieci migliori autori indipendenti italiani e ciò le è valso la partecipazione come relatrice al XXVII Salone Internazionale del Libro di Torino e alla Frankfurter Buchmesse 2014.

L'isola di Gaia" è il suo settimo libro (novembre 2014).
Della stessa autrice sono disponibili anche i thriller "Il mentore" (2014), "Affinità d'intenti" (2015), "Sindrome" (2016) e "Oltre il limite" (2017), e i romanzi di fantascienza "Per caso" (2015), "Ophir. Codice vivente" (2016) e "Sirius. In caduta libera" (2018).

Appassionata di fantascienza e soprattutto dell'universo di Star Wars, è conosciuta nel web italiano con il suo nickname Anakina e ha una sua rubrica, intitolata "Life On Mars?", nel podcast e blog FantascientifiCast. È inoltre una rappresentante ufficiale italiana dell'associazione internazionale Mars Initiative e un membro dell'International Thriller Writers Organization.
