Six stories, each set inside the next: an unwilling Pacific voyager in 1850; a composer cut off from his inheritance scraping by in Belgium between the wars; a journalist with principles in California while Reagan is governor; a vanity publisher dodging gangsters he owes money; a genetically engineered server condemned to die; and Zachry, a far-future islander who sees science and civilisation fail. Their echoes build a picture of the human hunger for power.
