Humanity perished in a mysterious catastrophe, leaving behind only its heirs and servants, an extensive network of artificial intelligences, noems. Having lost the main goal of their existence, they are trying to find a new one, building their own society. Immortals, they live according to laws invented not by them, but time, infinity and complexity can give rise to madness even in a system that is guided exclusively by logic and rationality, and therefore the civilization of noem begins to split, giving rise to outcasts and heretics. Plavtina is one of such heretics, for many centuries she has been wandering between the stars, never finding a place for herself in a world without people. When she detects a strange, alien signal, Plavtina sets off on a journey beyond explored space, hoping to find the reasons for the extinction of humanity. And her ally, the proconsul Othon, is trying to rebuild the society of noems itself, since it is threatened by another mind, the hostility of which noems have nothing to oppose, because at the will of their creators they cannot harm any biological organism.
