The Celestial Blueprint

The Celestial Blueprint

Philip José Farmer

1962

Novels, Science-Fiction & Fantasy

In a future where salvation is literally blueprints and fate is assigned at birth, the citizens of Dafess live under a doctrine of rigid holiness. But B.T. Revanche remembers when they deemed him worthless. Now he's wealthy, powerful, and consumed by a single purpose: make the righteous city taste the retribution they've always promised their enemies. With Da Vincelleo, an eccentric artist-inventor whose genius borders on madness, Revanche begins twisting the city's own sacred prophecies into weapons. The believers await their prophesied deliverer. What arrives will shatter their worldview in the most ironic way possible. This is science fiction with a vicious bite: part theological satire, part examination of how grievance curdles into cruelty, and all wrapped in Farmer's trademark dark humor. The Celestial Blueprint asks an uncomfortable question: when the marginalized gain power, do they dismantle the machine, or become it?
