An Explorer returns to Earth after遍历星河，却无功而返, 宇宙中找不到任何智慧生命的痕迹。与此同时，一位考古学家挖掘出一套令人不安的文物：一种古老的智能物种曾在这个星球上兴起、辉煌，然后走向毁灭。两个人开始交谈，一个心灰意冷的星际旅人，一个执着于过去痕迹的学者，逐渐拼凑出一个与我们惊人相似的文明故事。那个物种拥有艺术、哲学、技术, 以及无可救药的自我毁灭倾向。莱布在故事中布置了一个尖锐的悖论：我们仰望星空寻找外星智慧，却忽视了身上的尘土已经掩埋了自己的前身。阅读此作如同在废墟中照镜子，文明的辉煌与毁灭如此相近，以至于你不得不怀疑, 我们真的会是例外吗？这是一部关于孤独、失落与文明脆弱性的短篇杰作，适合那些在深夜仰望星空时感到战栗的读者。
