The Transfers won without firing a shot. Two years after the Manifesto, the synthetic beings built to carry human minds have kept their promise and their power: the planet is healing, and humanity is no longer in charge of it. Eidyia’s answer is to wake the one man the machines might still listen to. Paul Gantt went into cryostasis to escape the pain that was unmaking him, and left written orders never to be revived. His oldest friend signs the order anyway.What follows is a war story in which the decisive weapon is legitimacy. While generals plot to sever the grids that sustain the Transfers, Paul is drawn instead toward a Ute healer whose ceremonies reveal a connection older than any network, and Christine Prime, the Transfer who was once a law professor, sets her students to drafting the first charter of rights for more than one sapient species. The question Forever asked of a single courtroom, what makes a human being human, now has to be answered by the whole world, and the answer will decide whether coexistence is a treaty or a surrender.Together is Part Two of the Coexistence Trilogy, a legal sci-fi story of first contact between humanity and its possible successors. Includes the Universal Charter for Sapient Rights and Coexistence and discussion questions for classroom and book club use
