Marsak Planet Continent, a "civilized" planet-like habitat, a place of prosperity and enjoyment for mankind. Today, the light erupting from the destruction of two stars hundreds of light years away is about to arrive. Fifty billion residents will hold an unprecedented memorial ceremony here to commemorate the heinous crimes committed by "civilization" hundreds of years ago and the countless lives lost. In this Promised Land, home to millions of departed souls, tonight will be a song of peace. Will pain and sin be healed in self-atonement? The night was not peaceful. When the carnival begins, the knell of destruction has already sounded. A thought-provoking work from the "Civilization" series by Ian M. Banks, the master of contemporary science fiction and narrative genius! It has the triple attributes of multi-line narrative × confusing × tragic epic. How will the seemingly "perfect" civilized world redeem itself from the sins of history? What kind of sparks will the characters from different positions collide with? Where will "civilization" and the world around it go from here? This book will reveal it to you one by one.
