Synopsis
On a terraformed Mars, resurrected twentieth-century scholar Thomas Hockenberry watches gods and heroes reenact the Trojan War. On a far-future Earth, post-humans live in ignorance while sentient robots from Jupiter's moons undertake a dangerous voyage. The three storylines combine elements from Homer, Shakespeare, and Proust.
