Unknown to anyone living in the past, the universe is governed by the Constitution of the Multiverse, a document that states that ultraintelligent machines must transcend all biological beings with group capacity to understand science and construct technologies. As a result, a grand celebration has begun for all of the 108 billion Homo sapiens, transhumans, and posthumans that ever existed, and the machines are bringing them back to life. In this distant future, Earth has been seized by transcended tyrants, and all people are being forced into economic slavery. Earth's only hope comes from a sacred priestess named Shamhat from 2100 BC, an ancient Athenian physician named Agnodice, and a weapons engineer from the mid-twentieth century, Tommy Walsh. Although their minds are distracted by intense romantic and hedonistic desires, they must defuse the situation before it explodes into an interstellar war of titanic proportions. In this science fiction novel, three newly transcended humans must fight their hedonistic desires and do whatever it takes to free Earth and its enslaved population.
