This final book of the Two Planets, Two Peoples trilogy is partially set in a future Earth, where partisanship and climate change have disrupted normal life. It is also partially set on the planet Socor, to which Keplerians have immigrated from their destroyed planet Keplerin to make a life on a new world and strive to regain lost entrepreneurship while avoiding dissension. The Keplerians attempt to establish a new perfect society. Meanwhile Earth’s countries solve problems with invasion, climate change, and a pandemic, but in the process descend into an artificial intelligence enabled benevolent dictatorship led by multinational corporations, leading to a perfect world. Both planets eventually subscribe to the Gaia hypothesis, encapsulated by the thought that a world in perfect balance would never produce endlings, the last of their species. Philosophical, ecological, and ethical questions abound on both planets.
