The Ultimate Salient
A psychologist enlists a fiction writer to encode a vital communication for a person not yet born by embedding it in a story meant to bridge time through a form of mind-to-mind perception called telaesthesia. The frame examines experimental psychic research and the moral urgency of sending knowledge forward, while the embedded narrative traces the mobilization of people and technology—industrial preparations, intricate engineering, and the building of a large spacegoing vessel—culminating in pivotal decisions and consequences that pose implications for the future of humanity.
