- Synopsis
- This John W. Campbell Award–winning novel is &“brilliantly conceived . . . Anderson&’s narrative soars, as unfettered as an exalting dream&” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Astronaut Christian Brannock achieved immortality when he allowed his consciousness to be uploaded onto a computer. Billions of years later, when AI&’s called nodes control the galaxy and the survival of Earth is threatened by the expansion of the sun, Brannock is summoned to investigate the condition of humanity&’s home planet. He will soon meet another mind—that of a woman named Laurinda Ashcroft, who chose to merge with an Earth-based computer. Together, they must explore a simulation of Earth and all of its alternative pasts and futures, run by a rogue robot whose ambivalence toward human existence may hide far more dangerous secrets . . . &“Anderson, far more than many newer science fiction writers, takes the trouble to envision a genuinely strange, complex future for mankind.&” —The Washington Post Praise for Science Fiction Grand Master Poul Anderson &“One of science fiction&’s most revered writers.&” —USA Today &“The great canvas of interstellar space comes alive under Anderson&’s hand as it does under no other.&” —Gordon R. Dickson &“One of science fiction&’s most influential and prolific writers.&” —The Daily Telegraph
