About this book
From the
New York Timesābestselling author of
Dune, a sci-fi fantasy about government control of media and information.
Ā
Earth has become a library planet for thousands of years, a bastion of both useful and useless knowledgeāesoterica of all types, history, science, politicsāgathered by teams of "pack rats" who scour the galaxy for any scrap of information. Knowledge is power, knowledge is wealth, and knowledge can be a weapon. As powerful dictators come and go over the course of history, the cadre of dedicated librarians is sworn to obey the lawful governmentĀ .Ā .Ā . and use their wits to protect the treasure trove of knowledge they have collected over the millennia. Herbert, author of
Dune.
