Society's problems have been solved. War's have ended, everyone has a home, and the centers of people's lives are the communities they build together. Taryn knows all of this, but a traumatic event in her childhood has left her feeling isolated and alone. She thinks she'll never fit in anywhere. When she heads to the city center to interview for a new job, however, she finds that there is a place for her after all, a place full of excitement and wonder, a place where she can shape and guide the destiny of the world.
