Earth
Humanity's beautiful, unequal homeworld, whose real streets confront Amos with the life he thought he had left.
Story so far
From lunar orbit, Earth hangs clean and serene against the dark; at street level, Amos Burton sees a planet divided among wage earners, people living on basic, and those invisible in the margins. New York's high technology and ocean air cannot conceal the dense human pressure and informal predation he recognizes immediately.
Earth's gravity gives Amos an involuntary sense of bodily belonging, but it is not sentimental homecoming. It is the source of the harsh social world he learned to navigate as a child, and he has come down only to mourn Lydia and settle what she left behind.
Appearance
A blue-and-green world of oceans and crowded cities; New York combines sleek spaceport infrastructure, dense streets, salt air, automation, and deep class divisions.
Role
Earth is humanity's origin and its dominant gravity well, a place Amos remembers as both physically native and socially brutal.
