I’ve been re-reading Pandora’s Star this week, and it has me wondering about Far Away. The Guardians of Selfhood seem to have a clear mission, but one aspect of their motivations puzzles me.
They often mention “getting Far Away’s revenge.” I had assumed that this referenced the damage caused by the star’s flare, but didn’t that happen before humans arrived? Or are they talking about something else?
