From Time Beyond Knowing...

(A Psychotechnic History character worthy of mini-bio treatment is Etienne Fourre but we have already done this. See here.)

An author, starting with a blank sheet of paper or a blank computer screen, can create anew something old:

"Long, long ago..."

"From time beyond knowing, the Kulembarach clan had ranged those lands which reach south of Lake Roah and east of the Kiiong River."

-Poul Anderson, A Stone In Heaven IN Anderson, Flandry's Legacy (Riverdale, NY, June 2012), pp. 1-188 AT I, p. 3.

This is all new even though it is from time beyond knowing. It includes fictional geography. This newly created planet of Ramnu will soon be inserted into Poul Anderson's Technic History. We will see familiar scenes and characters while also learning about a planet that has not been mentioned until now. As we have said before, each new instalment of a future history series builds on previous instalments while also contributing new information. Anderson continues this process right up until the end of the Technic History which is not yet.
