I've finished: Children of Strife by Adrian Tchaikovsky

What an incredible ride.

Building on the foundation set by the first three novels in the Children of Time series, Children of Strife can concentrate on the pivotal moments of Tchaikovsky's uplift universe.

The story follows a terraforming project from Avrana Kern's generation, a desperate colony ship from the ruins of old earth and a rescue mission from the Panspecific society set up by the sentient beings we know and love.

Children of Strife highlights the difference between earth's colonization project from the beginning of Children of Time, led by egomaniacal psychopaths with the egalitarian alternative established by the end of Children of Ruin / Memory.

It is a clear indictment of today's tech billionaire class and their aspirations to become humanities gods and saviors.
