Reminds me a lot of the old original science fiction of the 1950s. Deep with a message of morality. Loved it!
Loved this book. So many interesting questions about humanity and the future.
Can’t wait to see where the next one goes.

Zonde van de plotholes (waarom niet in godsnaam die apen vooraf al infecteren, hoe klein is die planeet en waarom leven er maar 4 organismen?) en de eendimensionale personages. Maar als je dat zeurderige stemmetje even uitzet heb je een heerlijk escapistisch leesavontuur. Zin in deel 2.

This was an interesting scifi.
On the eve of Earth's 1st major success to terraform a planet and introduce biologically enhanced primates to it to allow them to evolve, a civil war breaks out amongst humanity between the fundamentalist group and the progressive scientists, pushing humanity back into the stone age and a dying planet.
Thousands of years later humanity is taking to the stars again as Earth is no longer habitable. The Ark ships are carrying the last, living, humans and trying to follow the trail of dead technology left by their, more advanced, ancestors. What they find is that the terraforming did not go, entirely, as planned.
I really adore scifi like this. Its so all encompassing, and the whatever direction the author decides to take the story, there's so much potential to allow those plot lines to play out in any number of reasoned ways.
The story digs deep into tribalism, and classism, and how our biology can help structure our society, even when it's being detrimental to continuation.
As much as I am phobic about what the "Children" are, I thought it was a really creative twist and the author played it out well.
I'll continue this series.

Describing the premise of this book makes it sound terrible, but I thoroughly enjoyed this different take on space colonization.
