How can the innumerable and complex contradictions depicted throughout these books be resolved? While lives and traditions are destroyed, there is a struggle to make sense of the chaos from varying perspectives. Is there a place in the galaxy for the outcast Samerac? Can civilization survive without machines? Where can this lead?
