Jane S. Smith
A detailed nonfiction account of how Dr. Jonas Salk developed the polio vaccine and successfully completed the largest clinical trial in history in 1954. Smith traces the polio epidemics that terrified America in the first half of the twentieth century, the organized support of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis (March of Dimes), and the broader question of public ownership of scientific knowledge—as captured in Salk's famous refusal to patent the vaccine. The book is also the story of the countless people who worked alongside him.

Dan Simmons
Set in the 28th century, seven pilgrims journey to the planet Hyperion on the eve of an interstellar war, each carrying a desperate hope and a terrible secret. Structured as a frame narrative inspired by Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, the pilgrims take turns telling the stories that brought them to seek the Shrike, a mysterious and deadly creature guarding the Time Tombs—enigmatic structures moving backward through time. A landmark of science fiction that weaves together themes of faith, parenthood, artificial intelligence, and the fate of humanity.
