Synopsis

In a far future where humanity has splintered into warring factions of Mechanists (who embrace cybernetic augmentation) and Shapers (who pursue genetic engineering), diplomat and schemer Abelard Lindsay navigates a solar system of shifting alliances and radical posthuman transformations. Spanning decades of Lindsay's tumultuous life across space habitats and transformed worlds, the novel is a dazzling vision of posthuman evolution and political intrigue.
