All the stories explore immortality. In \“The Pressure of Time,\” after a plague, some people are perceived to be immortal, although they may just be very long lived, and since they still procreate, the population is growing. But for some, even among the mortals, the world is a better place because no one starves and, economically, there is no lower class. Still, the mortals resent the immortals, and the immortals hope the mortals die out. \“Things Lost,\” set in 2084-2085, continues the themes of the first story, as does \“Mutability\”; and \“Chanson Perp{\'e}tuelle,\” set in 2098, focuses on one of the remaining mortals.
