From the multiple Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author: "A
panoramic story of what happens to a world gone super intelligent"
(Astounding Science Fiction). With "wonderfully logical detail . .
. exciting storytelling and moving characterization" (Anthony
Boucher), science fiction master Poul Anderson explores what
happens when the next stage of evolution is thrust upon humanity
and animals. As Earth passes out of a magnetic field that has
suppressed intelligence for eons, the mental capacity for all
mammals increases exponentially, radically changing the structures
of society. A mentally impaired farm worker finds himself capable
of more delicate and intelligent thoughts than he ever dreamed. A
young boy on holiday manages to discern the foundations of calculus
before breakfast. Animals that were seen as livestock and pets can
now communicate clearly with their owners and one another. And an
already brilliant physics researcher now uses his boundless
intellect to bring humankind to the stars--even as his wife plunges
into an existential crisis. For all of them, the world will never
be the same . . .
