And the one person who keeps following him to the edge of every fortress to pull him back may be the one he understands least of all.A sweeping, intimate work of literary science fiction about ambition and emptiness, the worlds we build to avoid ourselves, and the hardest thing a restless soul ever has to learn: how to sit still in the dark and simply be alive.…
