Havig's Further Vision

There Will Be Time, XI.

Beyond the period of the Maurai Federation:

pastoral landscapes;
 
spire humming and shimmering with enigmatic energies;
 
enormous gliding sky ships more of force than of metal;
 
incomprehensible symbols on statues, in books and across lintels.
 
Havig doubts that Wallis's organization, the Eyrie, which seeks to control the future, could have brought forth those machines and also wonders whether a few technic masters tyrannize a lofty-minded and passive populace. He has glimpsed a future but does not understand it.

So far, to me, it sounds like a good mix of environmentalism and technology but obviously Havig needs to learn more.

Kaor, Paul!

The really ironic part is that the future glimpsed by Havig AND Wallis himself would not have come to exist without the efforts, even the FOUNDATIONS laid down by the latter and his Eyrie.

Ad astra! Sean
