Description

In David Dvorkin's fifteenth novel, nanve, rootless James Benton has been surprised by the role the mineral jacksonite has played in his life. From his parents' disappearance in space to his lack of emotional attachment since then, none of it would have happened without the influence of jacksonite. But jacksonite has had an immense influence on everyone in the galaxy. Maybe it has even made the current galactic civilization possible. Now jacksonite has brought Benton to Colliery, the only world where the mineral is found, the HQ of the immensely powerful Jacksonite Corporation. Colliery is more Garden of Eden than mine planet, but here Benton will delve below his own surface to search within, as he penetrates beneath the serene and lovely surface. In knowing and liberating a world, Benton will finally know and liberate himself.

"David Dvorkin reminds us that human nature will follow us into the future. A compelling exploration of the causes and consequences of monopoly."
— Wil McCarthy, author of COLLAPSIUM
