Gardenpath is a graduate student in biology who desperately wants to pass their exams with the highest honor possible: a prize given to scholars who discover something truly novel in the universe. Gardenpath also happens to be an amoeba\u2013a slime mold, to be exact\u2013from an ancient civilization that dwells in a vast network of towers between the stars. Seeking their prize, Gardenpath heads to a remote, dangerous planet that other researchers have dismissed as dead and uninteresting. There, they are surprised to discover a complicated ecosystem unlike anything they’ve ever encountered\u2013including some peculiar, multicellular animals who seem to have language and culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To learn more about these animals, Gardenpath changes their shape to resemble one of them. And that’s how they meet a creature named Murtis, who lives in a city she calls Pompeii and works in a brothel known to locals as “the lupanar.” Unfazed by a visitor who says she’s from the stars, Murtis takes Gardenpath into her care, introducing her to the seaside tourist town full of immigrants and shopkeepers who are just trying to get by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Wall Is Also a Road<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is a story about what happens when the alien becomes familiar\u2013and beloved. Gardenpath expected to finish their research, present their discovery, and take their place among the decorated scholars of the floating cities. But when they look at their wild new friend Murtis\u2019s sensor bulb, attached to a bizarre electro-chemical control system, they begin to realize there\u2019s more to life than academic achievement. They’re not sure what it is, but they’re going to use science to find out.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Gardenpath es una estudiante de biolog\u00eda que anhela aprobar sus ex\u00e1menes con el m\u00e1ximo honor: un premio otorgado a los investigadores que descubren algo verdaderamente novedoso en el universo. Gardenpath es, adem\u00e1s, una ameba \u2014un moho mucilaginoso, para ser exactos\u2014 de una civilizaci\u00f3n antigua que habita en una vasta red de torres entre las estrellas. En busca de su recompensa, Gardenpath se dirige a un planeta remoto y peligroso que otros investigadores han descartado como muerto y sin inter\u00e9s. All\u00ed, se sorprende al descubrir un ecosistema complejo, diferente a todo lo que haya visto, incluyendo unos peculiares animales multicelulares que parecen tener lenguaje y cultura. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Para aprender m\u00e1s sobre estos animales, Gardenpath cambia su forma para asemejarse a uno de ellos. As\u00ed es como conoce a una criatura llamada Murtis, que vive en una ciudad a la que llama Pompeya y trabaja en un burdel conocido por los lugare\u00f1os como “el lupanar”. Sin inmutarse ante una visitante que dice venir de las estrellas, Murtis acoge a Gardenpath bajo su cuidado y la introduce en la ciudad tur\u00edstica costera llena de inmigrantes y comerciantes que simplemente intentan sobrevivir. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Wall is Also a Road<\/em><\/strong> narra lo que sucede cuando un extraterrestre se vuelve familiar, e incluso querido. Gardenpath esperaba terminar su investigaci\u00f3n, presentar su descubrimiento y unirse al selecto grupo de acad\u00e9micos de las ciudades flotantes. Pero al observar la bombilla sensora de su nuevo y peculiar amigo Murtis, conectada a un extra\u00f1o sistema de control electroqu\u00edmico, comienzan a comprender que la vida ofrece mucho m\u00e1s que logros acad\u00e9micos. No saben qu\u00e9 es, pero est\u00e1n decididos a descubrirlo mediante la ciencia.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
