Description

In the year 2535, Sir Thomas More is plucked from his own time and transported to the human colony of Astrobe, a seemingly perfect utopia. However, this golden world is threatened by the Programmed Persons, who have engineered a soulless perfection that endangers the very survival of faith. More and his followers must confront this engineered society in a battle of ideas and action, challenging the conventions of science fiction with fractured allegories and astonishing inventiveness. This wildly imaginative novel explores profound themes of faith, humanity, and the nature of perfection.
