Behold the orphan. Created into a global that is not a world. An electronic being cultivated from a mind seed, a genderless cybernetic citizen in a massive network of probes, satellites, and servers knitting the Solar System into one scape, from the outer planets to the fiery surface of sunlight. Since the Introdus in the 21st century, humanity has reconfigured itself substantially. Most chose immortality, joining the polises to be conscious software. Others chosen gleisners: Disposable, renewable robotic bodies that stay in contact with the physical world of drive and friction. Many of these have gone the Solar System permanently in fusion drive starships. And there are the holdouts. The fleshers left behind in the muck and jungle of Globe - some devolved into dream-apes; others cavorting in the seas or the air; as the statics and bridges try to form out a approximately human destiny. However the complacency of the individuals is shattered when an unforeseen devastation ravages the fleshers, and discloses the opportunity that the polises themselves might be vulnerable from bizarre astrophysical processes that appear to violate fundamental laws of aspect. The Orphan joins several individuals and flesher refugees in a search for the knowledge that will promise their safe practices - a search that puts them on the path of the historic and elusive Transmuters, who've the energy to reshape subatomic allergens, and to cross in to the macrocosmos, where the universe we know is only a speck in the higher-dimensional vacuum.
