A Clash of Past and Future Among the Stars
Imagine waking up 40,000 years in the future to discover your descendants have evolved into godlike beings who view you as primitive curiosities. This is the unsettling premise of Peter F. Hamilton's "Exodus," a sweeping space opera where humanity's desperate flight from a dying Earth leads to profound transformation. By the 42nd millennium, humans have split into numerous species-from baseline humans to the immortal Celestial rulers who transfer their consciousness between bodies. When arkships carrying original humans arrive after millennia in transit, they find themselves in a universe where their own descendants have become their oppressors. This collision of past and future forms the backdrop for a tale of rebellion, identity, and what it truly means to remain human in a post-human universe.
