With the new generation taking the seats of the last, he medievalists and Isolationists are outnumbering the transhumanists, the utopians, the extropianists and the idealists and the scientists: All of these are collectively called the Outsiders, for they are strangers in the caves of steel, the towering cities of ceramic beams and buckminsterfullerene walls.


Welcome to the seventh decade of the Century of Wonders.
She was a splice: Chimerical, impure, non-human, subhuman, meant to be a slave, but she would step above them all and earn a page for herself in history: The first human-derived intelligence, the beast-headed woman who owned the whole of Mankind for a day. But it was a long, long way.
Her first problem was being born in the wrong end of the Golden Hour.
Her second problem was her genome – She was a posthuman-level intelligence by design and cat-like by genetics, and they underestimated her. They thought of her as a subhuman, inferior animal when she knew far more about them than they all did. They were so linear, she, on the other hand, could attack ideas from all sides at the same time. Behind those leopard eyes there was something else. Scratch the fur and you would find Humanity, but they did not care for that. She was born in the wrong side of the progress explosion, she consorted with the first man sent to the stars, she owned Earth, she made her place in history, she found the Worldhouse, started the Commonality – But all of this lay in the wider volumes of her own light cone, and she did not know it.
