John C. Wright's Journal

From THE GOLDEN TRANSCENDENCE, vol. III of my debut trilogy.

In the far future, the Golden Oecumene has elevated the immortals of the solar system to untrammeled triumphs of abundance, liberty, and splendor. But, hidden by masquerade, a sinister threat arises from the dark star Cygnus X1, man’s sole exosolar colony, the long-lost Silent Oecumene.

Phaethon of Rhadamanth, bedeviled and beguiled by agents of the Lords of the Silent Oecumene, returns from exile to confront them. He must battle them in the core of the Sun, the core of his mind and memory, and at the apex of all abstraction, when the Golden Transcendence gathers all minds in the solar system into one communion, and all truths are laid bare.

The Golden Transcendence Ep. 02: The Memory Casket

From THE GOLDEN TRANSCENDENCE, vol. III of my debut trilogy.

In the far future, the Golden Oecumene has elevated the immortals of the solar system to untrammeled triumph of abundance, liberty, and splendor.

But hidden by the protocols of masquerade, a sinister threat arises from the dead star Cygnus X1, site of mankind’s sole extrasolar colony, which, falling silent in aeons past, long thought dead, is called the Silent Oecumene.

Phaethon of Rhadamanth, bedeviled and beguiled by agents of the Lords of the Silent Oecumene, returns from exile to confront them, as the last of the masquerade comes to an end. He must battle them in the core of the Sun, the core of his mind and memory, and at the apex of all abstraction ere the end.

The Golden Transcendence gathers all minds in the solar system, natural and artificial, into one communion, and all truths are laid bare.
