Terra Ignota is a quartet of science fiction novels[1] by the American author Ada Palmer. The series consists of Too Like the Lightning (NYC: Tor, 2016),[2] Seven Surrenders (NYC: Tor, 2017),[3] The Will to Battle (NYC: Tor, 2017),[4] and Perhaps the Stars (NYC: Tor, 2021).[5] Set in the year 2454, they follow the events that lead the world to war for the first time after three centuries of peace following the end of the nation state.[6] * * *
The Earth of Terra Ignota has seen several centuries of near-total peace and prosperity. Technology is very advanced. Food can be synthesized. The workweek is 20 hours, but vocateurs, or vokers, voluntarily work much more because they love what they do. Everyone is publicly gender neutral, using they/them pronouns. Families are no longer nuclear, but are organized into co-housing collectives called bash'houses [...]. Religion is legally restricted to private counseling relationships or sanctuary reservations. Surveillance is universal; individuals are equipped with personal tracker devices which allow for telecommunication and record a person's whereabouts [...], but these can be switched off.[7]
