Synopsis
Five thousand years after most of humanity mysteriously vanished from Earth, a handful of near-immortal survivors live a pastoral existence alongside robots who have turned to philosophy and religion. When a long-lost traveler returns with news of where humanity went and warnings that they may be coming back, the tranquil remnant must confront whether technological civilization should be restored.
