Perhaps the Stars
Perhaps the Stars | Ada Palmer
5 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
The long years of near-utopia have come to an abrupt end. Peace and order are now figments of the past. Corruption, deception, and insurgency hum within the once steadfast leadership of the Hives, nations without fixed location. The heartbreaking truth is that for decades, even centuries, the leaders of the great Hives bought the world's stability with a trickle of secret murders, mathematically planned. So that no faction could ever dominate. So that the balance held. The Hives' facade of solidity is the only hope they have for maintaining a semblance of order, for preventing the public from succumbing to the savagery and bloodlust of wars past. But as the great secret becomes more and more widely known, that facade is slipping away. Just days earlier, the world was a pinnacle of human civilization. Now everyone, Hives and hiveless, Utopians and sensayers, emperors and the downtrodden, warriors and saints scramble to prepare for the seemingly inevitable war.

The last book of Terra Ignota is actually 2 books in French, so that's book 4 for me.

In this final book in the complex & inventive Terra Ignota series, all the threads of the previous three books culminate in an astonishing and satisfying ending. The extraordinary world building and vast cast of characters made it sometimes hard to follow, but it was worth it for the wealth of ideas about humanity, society, first contact, exploration and what it means to be human. It's impossible to do it justice in such a short format. Just: wow.
