(4) YA Jarra has the last remaining human disability: her immune system shuts down if she leaves Earth. Passing as "norm" in her first year of university, she builds relationships with classmates who call her kind "apes." The exploration of stigma and prejudice is simplistic, but Jarra's resourcefulness and the action-heavy scenes of excavating Earth's ruined cities are smartly written and invigorating.
