A thought-provoking science fiction novella by Paul Cornell explores the nature of identity and humanity through the lens of five digital beings. Condemned to crew a small survey ship for over three hundred years, they are forced to confront their existences when they encounter a mysterious black sphere. Their initial goal is to obtain the object and inform their powerful Company overlords, but a malfunctioning ship forces them to take matters into their own hands. As they approach the sphere, they uncover a truth that will change the fate of all existence - including themselves. This gripping novella delves into themes of humanity, identity, and the consequences of discovery, raising questions about the true nature of existence.
