Terra IgnotaReeks

Ga op een gedurfde politieke sciencefiction-epos in een zorgvuldig geconstrueerde utopische toekomst. In een wereld waar naties geen vaste locaties hebben en macht wordt gehandhaafd door subtiele, wiskundig geplande interventies, wordt een precaire balans gehandhaafd. Personages ontdekken diepe samenzweringen en het potentieel voor wereldveranderende gebeurtenissen, worstelend met thema's als waarheid, religie en de strijd om het lot vorm te geven. Deze serie biedt een diepgaande verkenning van maatschappelijke structuren en de menselijke conditie tegen de achtergrond van een dreigend conflict.

    From the winner of the 2017 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer, this political science fiction novel ventures into a human future of extraordinary originality. Mycroft Canner, a convict, must wander the world, being as useful as possible to those he encounters. Carlyle Foster, a sensayer, serves as a spiritual counselor in a society that has outlawed public religion, yet acknowledges the complexity of human inner lives. The world they inhabit is as alien to us as our own would be to someone from the 1500s. It represents a hard-won utopia based on technological abundance and complex systems of labeling public discourse. Gender distinctions that seem normal to us are taboo, and most of the population belongs to global clans engaged in economic and cultural competition, managed by subtle central planners. This blend of heaven and hell appears normal to them. In this intricate society, Mycroft and Carlyle discover a wild card: a boy named Bridger, who possesses the uncanny ability to make his wishes come true, seemingly bringing inanimate objects to life.

    The year is 2454. Three centuries of peace and a hard-won golden age have come to an abrupt end. The once steadfast leadership of the seven Hives is crumbling, soured by corruption and deception. Savagery and bloodlust, three-centuries suppressed, have been unleashed. The terrible truth is that centuries of peace were bought with a trickle of secret murders. The killings were mathematically planned, meticulously organised to preserve the balance - to ensure no faction could dominate. But now the secret is out, the balance has tipped, the Hives' utopian façade has slipped. Just days ago, humanity stood at the pinnacle of civilization. Now everyone - Hives and Hiveless, Utopians and sensayers, emperors and convicts, warriors and saints - is preparing for war.
