Sono trascorsi mille anni dal viaggio dell'astronave Discovery verso Saturno e dalla drammatica conclusione della sua missione. Marte, la Luna e il satellite Ganimede sono ormai da tempo luoghi colonizzati e completamente abitati. Il progresso scientifico e tecnologico ha raggiunto un tale livello di sviluppo da rendere obsoleti persino alcuni tipi di lanci spaziali. Da un gigantesco anello attorno all'equatore terrestre partono quattro torri, lunghe diecimila piani e che funzionano come ascensori spaziali, rendendo di fatto inutili i lanci di razzi dalla superficie terrestre.

On Tuesdays and Fridays Piranesi sees his friend, the Other. At other times he brings tributes of food to the Dead. But mostly, he is alone.
