Creator's Notes

Welcome to my pastiche on the space-AI genre in which I join the grand tradition of making shit up about planets, space travel, and quantum physics. If you notice a glaring error of scientific impossibility, pretend you didn’t. The “ancient” poets quoted herein are in approximate order: Coleridge, Shelley, Dickinson, Blake, Shakespeare and Tennyson. Despite any appearances to the contrary this does not owe any particular debt to any particular sci fi franchises. I truly didn’t notice the significance of naming one of my protags “Lucas” until I was 3/4 of the way through and by then, well, that was his name. Many thanks to the Editor for being welcoming and supportive! Delighted to be here.
