Chris Knight: This long, dark voyage, which culminates in a chilling coda
The notion of a giant, space-borne hotel and shopping centre makes very little economic sense. Given launch costs, can you imagine the price of a Cinnabon beyond lunar orbit?
Emilie Jonsson stars as the ship’s Mimaroben; it seems to be both her name and her job title, as she is in charge of a computer called Mima, which can cause passengers to have detailed, relaxing hallucinations of the natural beauty of the planet they’ve left behind. That becomes all the more important when the Aniara suffers a malfunction in the early hours of its voyage, and is knocked off course, heading for interstellar space.
Mima’s services are suddenly in greater demand, to the point that the computer starts to suffer from the stress of overwork. And as the subsequent chapter headings indicate, the captain’s original estimate turns out to be overly optimistic.
