The Songs of Distant Earth
Just a few islands in a planetwide ocean, Thalassa was a veritable paradise--home to one of the small colonies founded centuries before by robot Mother Ships when the Sun had gone nova and mankind had fled Earth.
Mesmerized by the beauty of Thalassa and overwhelmed by its vast resources, the colonists lived an idyllic existence, unaware of the monumental evolutionary event slowly taking place between their seas. . . .
Then the Magellan arrived in orbit carrying one million refugees from the last, mad days on Earth. And suddenly uncertainty and change had come to the placid paradise that was Thalassa.

British journo with @TheRegister. For work security and science, for play sailing, F1, and Marmite. Former blue check. All views my own. On Signal, DMs open.
@shehackspurple Maybe a return to the classics? Arthur C. Clarke's The Songs of Distant Earth and Childhood End bear a reread and Stapledon's masterwork is on Gutenberg. https://t.co/lsZw14Coy4

@brunovi_dev @rachelnabors This. For old sci-fi I recommend Flatland. First book of Wool is really good. I love a lot of Asimov’s really short stories or shorts by other modern greats like Arthur Clarke’s The Songs of Distant Earth.
Literary Alchemist - The Shards of Raeth series. Veteran, Pilot, Business Owner, Traveler, & Lover of Bourbon. Humor is required & Sarcasm is a Risk You Take.
Talking to someone about my favorite Arthur C. Clarke novel "Songs of Distant Earth", and discovered this 1986 novel was from a short-story he wrote in 1958. Point being, it's never too late. Those dusty stories you wrote years ago may be the next bestseller. #WritingCommmunity https://t.co/UTnnEdRGYP
