The Memory of Earth
The Memory of Earth | Orson Scott Card
1 post | 12 read | 3 to read
High above the planet Harmony, the Oversoul watches. Its task, programmed so many millennia ago, is to guard the human settlement on this planet--to protect this fragile remnant of Earth from all threats. To protect them, most of all, from themselves. The Oversoul has done its job well. There is no war on Harmony. There are no weapons of mass destruction. There is no technology that could lead to weapons of war. By control of the data banks, and subtle interference in the very thoughts of the people, the artificial intelligence has fulfilled its mission. But now there is a problem. In orbit, the Oversoul realizes that it has lost access to some of its memory banks, and some of its power systems are failing. And on the planet, men are beginning to think about power, wealth, and conquest.

This is an amazing SF series. I loved every single one, and they stand the test of time. The story hinges on one character's struggle, and the SF aspect is what it should be--a setting for a human story. Magnificent! (Plus, the hardback had a red cover for my 4th of July book flag! LOL!)

Loretta ALL the law books. 8y
DragonAuthors @Loretta Lmao, I know right? I'd make some insightful comment about law as a foundation of our country etc., but the truth is law books are sturdy, thick, and universally monochromatic. Great flag building blocks! 😝 8y
