Earth no longer habitable? Neat trick if you can do that in 9 years. Seymour began adding his first owls some where between 2021 and 2030 while in jail. Suggesting something else happened. Key in on the "Illum corporation" and "Sybil". Then make your comparisons to today.

For more information look at Look up Antonius Diogenes on Wikipedia.

You have got me really curious now! Tell me more....who do you think is responsible for the "spaceship?" Please share your theory and research! I loved the book and would love to learn more.

I thought Seymour only added the owls after he was released and continued working on the atlas as a trusted employee.
