About the book
Adrian Tchaikovsky's novel follows the last remnants of humanity as they leave a dying Earth in search of a new home in space. Guided by star maps left by their ancestors, they reach a world that was terraformed and prepared for human life in a past age, but in the long years since its makers left it, the planet has gained new masters of its own. The narration moves between the ark ship Gilgamesh and the terraformed planet. It won the 2016 Arthur C. Clarke Award and opens a series, followed by Children of Ruin and later books, that won the 2023 Hugo Award for Best Series.
Andrej Karpathy found its alien civilization premise interesting and loved the idea of a classicist, though he felt it ran a little long.

Interesting alien civilization premise, a little too long. Loved the idea of a "classicist".
