[edit] Plot introduction
The novel follows a group of immortals from ancient times to the semi-distant future. The novel indicates a love for the past and anticipation for the wonders of the future. However, the sections concerning the nineteenth and twentieth century make strong, generally libertarian-based criticism of the world situation.
