Editor’s note Ada Palmer teaches Renaissance history at the University of Chicago, and the Terra Ignota quartet reads like a history of the future written by someone steeped in the Enlightenment. In the twenty-fifth century, nations have given way to chosen communities called Hives, public talk of religion is banned and fast flying cars have made the world one city. Mycroft Canner, a convicted criminal, narrates a week in which a boy who can bring toys to life is discovered and the peace begins to crack. Dense, strange and dazzling; ratings rise through the series. Read in order.
