Synopsis

On a terraformed Mars, resurrected twentieth-century scholar Thomas Hockenberry observes gods and heroes reenacting the Trojan War. On a far-future Earth, post-humans live in blissful ignorance while sentient robots from Jupiter’s moons undertake a dangerous voyage. Three storylines converge in a sweeping epic that blends Homer, Shakespeare, and Proust.
