About the book: year / Imagine all the diversity of human races and cultures squeezed into the space of one single planet. Wherever you dig, you will find petrified human bones and everywhere you come across the remains of civilizations that have died over the past ten thousand years. Imagine that when some people first went into space, others were still hunting wild animals, collecting roots, plowing with plows, spinning sheep's wool by hand and cooking in ovens that were fueled with wood. The peoples of the planet were ruled by a variety of chairmen, advisors, kings, ministers and presidents, parliaments and congresses, councils and committees. At the same time, republics, oligarchies, monarchies, theocracies, plutocracies and partocracies existed. All this grew and developed over thousands of years and bloomed magnificently.
