"High above the planet Harmony, the Oversoul watches. Its task, programmed so many millennia ago, is to guard the human settlement on this planet -- to protect this fragile remnant of Earth from all threats. To protect them, most of all, from themselves. The Oversoul has done its job well. There is no war on Harmony. There are no weapons of mass destruction. There is no technology that could lead to weapons of war. By control of the data banks, and subtle interference in the very thoughts of the people, the artificial intelligence has fulfilled its mission. But now there is a problem. In orbit, the Oversoul realizes that it has lost access to some of its memory banks, and some of its power systems are failing. And on the planet, men are beginning to think about power, wealth, and conquest."
""Le monde : Harmonie. La cité : Basilica, régie par les femmes. Retour d'expédition, Wetchik, le chef d'une des grandes familles du pays, reçoit la vision de Basilica ravagée par les flammes. Or pareille visionne peut venir que de Surâme, cet être que la religion des femmes vénère à l'égal d'une déesse ... Déesse? ou seulement intelligence artificielle en orbite autour d'Harmonie ..."

"Malfunctioning due to its own failing system, the Oversoul, an artificial intelligence caring for the colonists on the planet Harmony, could bring about catastrophic war on the planet unless someone repairs it."

"Basilica est une ville de la planète Harmonie, dirigée par les femmes. Les hommes ne peuvent y résider que sur l'invitation expresse de leur compagne. A l'aube d'une crise majeure où l'humanité expatriée risque de se détruire à nouveau, le mystérieux Surâme (intelligence artificielle en orbite autour d'Harmonie) choisit une famille pour l'aider dans son oeuvre de sauvetage."
