Synopsis |
Thousands of years hence, many races inhabit a universe where a mind's potential is determined by its location in space, from superintelligent entities in the Transcend, to the limited minds of the Unthinking Depths, where only simple creatures and technology can function. |
A science-fiction Book set in the far distant future, with a group of humans and aliens fleeing from an ancient AI and the anger of their peers. Two children encounter one of the more interesting alien species I've come across.
