Children are a commodity few women can afford.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHopeful mothers-to-be try everything. Fertility clinics. Pills. Wombs for hire. Babies are no longer made in bedrooms, but engineered in boardrooms. A quirk of genetics allows lucky surrogates to carry multiple eggs, to control when they are fertilised, and by whom—but corporations market and sell the offspring. The souls of lost embryos are never wasted; captured in software, they give electronics their voice. Spirits born into the wrong bodies can brave the charged waters of a hidden billabong, and change their fate. Industrious orphans learn to manipulate scientific advances, creating mothers of their own choosing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Australia’s near-future all the way back in time to its convict past, these stories spin and sever the ties between parents and children.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction by Amal El-Mohtar\u003cbr\u003eVox\u003cbr\u003eBaggage\u003cbr\u003eAll the Other Revivals\u003cbr\u003eThe Female Factory\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Twelfth Planet Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081153167600,"sku":"2940152477276","price":5.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940152477276_p0.jpg?v=1764021988","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940152477276","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
