![]() ![]() ![]() This, the sixth and final chapter in the Eschaton sequence, following The Vindication of Man (2016), begins-as most of these books do-with post-human supergenius and uncouth libertarian Menelaus Illation Montrose waking in a remote future and struggling to understand where and when he is, his place in the larger scheme of things, and the whereabouts of two people, one his bitter rival, supercilious totalitarian Ximen del Azarchel, the other the mysterious Rania, whom both Menelaus and Ximen love and claim as their bride. Yes, we’re still in the realm of fiction. Curious to learn why our universe, at the largest scale, consists of clumps and filaments of matter interspersed with enormous voids-and have several billion years at your disposal? Draw up a chair. ![]()
