Even amid this cultural bastion, Tatja finds the inhabitants of the barge as unremarkable as the society she left, prompting her to question what truly constitutes intelligence and progress. As she rises through the ranks, enigmatic outsiders offer her a chance to investigate deep mysteries, but the risks of such discovery threaten the fragile equilibrium of her world.
