Best-selling, award-winning futurist David Brin comes back to globe-spanning, high principle SF with Lifestyle. Gerald Livingston can be an orbital garbage collector. For 100 years, people have been abandoning things in space, and someone must clean it up. But there's something spinning a bit greater than he expects, something that isn't on the years' old orbital maps. One hour after he grabs it and brings it in, rumors complete Earth's infomesh about an "alien artifact". Thrown into the maelstrom of worldwide distributed experience, the Artifact is a game-changer - a note in a container, an alien capsule that needs to communicate. The earth reacts as humans always do: with dread and expectation and selfishness and love and violence. And insatiable curiosity.
