Terra Ignota
In the four-volume Terra Ignota novel series, author Ada Palmer’s unique vision mixes Enlightenment-era philosophy with traditional science fiction speculation to bring to life the year 2454, not a perfect future, but a utopian one, described by a narrator writing in an antiquated form to catalog the birth of a revolution.

“Ferociously intelligent, narrated in a ravishing voice, this is the kind of science fiction I’ve been craving for years.”
—Sherwood Smith, author of Inda

Under Construction

This is a new professional website for Ada Palmer (historian, author, composer).  It is currently under construction, but will replace the old adapalmer.com in Spring 2014.

"Warm, generous, and inviting," Inventing the Renaissance provides a witty and irreverent journey through the fantasies historians have constructed about the supposed Dark Ages and golden Renaissance, and exposes the terrible yet often tender reality beneath.
