Phew this was a lot. This builds heavily on the first two books and I think the series keeps getting better. This is the history of the future world, which would look like paradise if we saw it, on the brink of war. How does a hyper interconnected world that has forgotten war, start a war?

I don't know what I can say without giving plot away. If you hated the previous ones, you'll hate this. If you enjoyed them, this one is that but better.

Going to see Ada Palmer and Jo Walton talk this evening and I was hoping to have finished the third part of Terra Ignota but no luck...

This series is eerily relevant. How to prevent war when powers swap ranks and governments are personally entwined? How to survive when hallowed specialists oppose and betray, when a generation is wiped out, when optimists abandon the present to reach for the stars, when the brilliant are murderous and the miraculous are explosive? Whether you are looking for future parables or an illumination of the past, this book is an excellent 2020 companion.
