«O Jardim de Infância» is the science fiction novel by Geoff Ryman, published by Clássica Editora in paperback (464 pages, in Portuguese).
In a semitropical London surrounded by rice paddies, people feed on sunlight and children are educated by viruses. Milena, resistant to those viruses and gifted in music, meets Lucy, an immortal tumor; Joseph, the postman whose mind stores information, and Rolfa, genetically created as a polar bear, whose voice reveals to her the power of music.
Winner of the Arthur C. Clarke and John W. Campbell Memorial awards. Originally published in English as The Child Garden (1989).
Aimed at readers of dystopian and speculative science fiction; the story combines biology, music and singular characters.
