About this book
A monastery safeguards fragments of scientific knowledge after civilization has suffered a devastating collapse. Its monks copy and preserve texts and plans as sacred objects while the surrounding society gradually develops a renewed interest in science. Walter M. Miller Jr's speculative novel examines the relationship between religious custodianship, knowledge and the return of worldly power.
