Mankind is releasing himself from the solitude of his own mind, man now turns to thestars and faces a larger order of solitude.
The whole of Earth is a giant skull holding the human mind in a terrible muteness and lack of nourishment from
outside. With his local silence filled, man is ready to grope his way into the greater silences separating civilizations. This task
will be much harder, for man doesn't know whom he is seeking, or where they may be.
