As the story opens, the human race faces demise from within and without. Mulling over its options, the governing council decides that the human genome will require "major redesigning" or "scrapping" if what's left of humanity is to survive.
And that's where Ike comes in.
Not only is Ike a test case for future humanity, and the story's clever, enigmatic narrator, he could very well be its last historian, that is, the one chosen to record the final events in human evolution. As he attempts to fulfill his newly assigned role, he engages in a journey of self-discovery that ends in the most unlikely of all places.
