Read a sample from the book.
The savants of Institut Sorel, the world center of information mechanics,
compute the governing algorithms that give all things their shape and
structure. The voyants receive and sort enormous amounts of
information. And now the savants say that the whole world, on the brink of
a phase transition, is about to change, such that the long-term equilibrium
that has locked the world into an "order crisis" will give way to a period
of chaos. Dominique, a new, ignorant acolyte voyant, is asked to watch for
the random factor that will trigger the phase transition. But the Institut
itself is in chaos. Drawn into political intrigue and the savants' and
voyants' struggle over his world's very future, Dominique cares for
individuals, rather than abstractions and principles. But even so, he's not
sure what it is he should be doing…
Reviews
"Interesting intellectual political intrigue, high-minded science, and a
climax that moves along at a brisk pace makes the 100-page Candle in a
Bottle a trip worth taking." (read
