Más información sobre el libro

Set on a planet that serves as a vast library, the story explores the lives of "pack rats," who gather knowledge from across the galaxy. This accumulated information, ranging from the useful to the obscure, becomes a source of power and wealth. As dictators rise and fall, the librarians are committed to serving the lawful government while cleverly safeguarding their extensive collection of knowledge against those who might misuse it. Themes of knowledge as both a resource and a weapon are central to the narrative.
