Mycroft Canner is a convict. For his crimes he is required, as is the custom of the 25th hundred years, to wander the globe being as useful as he can to all or any he meets. Carlyle Foster is a sensayer - a religious counselor in a global that has outlawed the general public practice of religion, but which also is aware of that the inner lives of humans can't be wished away. The planet into which Mycroft and Carlyle have been created is as weird to our 21st-century eyes as ours is always to a native of the 1500s. It is a hard-won utopia built on technologically-generated great quantity, and also on sophisticated and essential systems of labeling all public writing and speech. What seem to be to us normal gender distinctions are actually distinctly taboo generally in most social situations. And most of the world's people is associated with globe-girdling clans of the like-minded, whose infinite economic and social competition is carefully maintained by central planners of inestimable subtlety. To us it seems like a mad combo of heaven and hell. To them, it seems like normal life. And nowadays, Mycroft and Carlyle have stumbled on the wild card which may destabilize the machine: the guy Bridger, who can naturally make his wishes come true. Who are able to, it would seem to be, bring inanimate items to life.
