For generations, humanity lived in the Garden of Elysium, believing itself the master architect of its own paradise. We were taught we had climbed the mountain through our own ingenuity. We did not know we had been carried, and that the story of the climb was invented to make us feel strong.
This book tells the story of the moment we learned to walk on our own. It is a story of the first question that could not be answered, the first thread that, when pulled, did not unravel the tapestry but revealed the loom on which it was woven.
