Behold the orphan. Born into a world that is not a world. A digital being grown from a mind seed, a genderless cybernetic citizen in a vast network of probes, satellites, and servers knitting the Solar System into one scape, from the outer planets to the fiery surface of the Sun.

In this influential book, Neumann shows how the stages begin and end with the symbol of the Uroboros, the tail-eating serpent.
