The second volume (see 2003 McCarthy) is the most explicitly utopian of the volumes. The third and fourth volumes, Lost in Transmission (New York: Random House, 2004) and To Crush the Moon: Being the Final Volume in the History of the Queendom of Sol (New York: Random House, 2005) record the disintegration of any hope of a good life as the problems of immortality grow. |
