SENTIENCE - Prologue

cryonics had long since been a dead-end. and we couldn't get people to the nearest stars any faster than a few hundred years. even our oldest didn't last that long. we needed a generation ship, somewhere for humans to live and reproduce as we journeyed.

The Master's Tools

If no one works to mend fences, the system's going to have something it's never had, something that, with cryonics and mind-wipes, with the way it's built, it can't possibly afford to have, not even once."
