Evolution of machine and mankind: Orf is a sentient drilling machine designed to probe the very center of the earth. But the world is dynamic, changing through earthquake and cultural upheaval. The Pacific Northwest secedes from the US. Civilization changes almost beyond recognition. New societies arise. Humanity encounters strange new beings from within the earth and beyond until human life is changed almost beyond recognition. Now Orf must change as well, becoming both myth and monster, savior and mentor to future generations of humanity. A complex, dynamic and well-constructed set of intertwining plots.
