Mycroft Canner is a convict. For his crimes he is required, as is the
custom of the 25th century, to wander the world being as useful as he
can to all he meets. Carlyle Foster is a sensayer--a spiritual counselor
in a world that has outlawed the public practice of religion, but which
also knows that the inner lives of humans cannot be wished away.
The
world into which Mycroft and Carlyle have been born is as strange to
our 21st-century eyes as ours would be to a native of the 1500s. It is a
hard-won utopia built on technologically-generated abundance, and also
on complex and mandatory systems of labelling all public writing and
speech. What seem to us normal gender distinctions are now distinctly
taboo in most social situations. And most of the world's population is
affiliated with globe-girdling clans of the like-minded, whose endless
economic and cultural competion is carefully managed by central planners
of inestimable subtlety. To us it seems like a mad combination of
heaven and hell. To them, it seems like normal life.
