![]() The Oversoul, however, was only designed to last twenty million years, so eventually it begins to break down. Thus the technology on Harmony includes basic computers and solar-powered handheld energy weapons, but no cars or even wagons. Though it does not prevent them from doing evil, it keeps their societal capability for destruction limited by suppressing any thoughts that might lead to things like long-distance travel or instant communication. It also influences the actions of humans. On Harmony, the advancement of human technology is controlled by the Oversoul – an artificial intelligence monitor, using a small army of satellites, established by the original colonists to monitor the planet. Forty plus planets, including Harmony, are colonized by humans (though only two are actually named in the series: Ramadan, settled by Arabs and Harmony, apparently settled by Slavic cultures, as its languages all developed from Russian.) The main premise of the series is that a human diaspora occurred after Earth was rendered uninhabitable by human wars. The series, containing five volumes, takes place forty million years in the future, with volumes 1-3 taking place on a fictional planet called Harmony. Some of the names also come from the Book of Mormon. The series is patterned on the Book of Mormon. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Homecoming Saga is a science fiction series by Orson Scott Card. ![]()
