Napříč kontinentem se pomalu sune Město. Po kolejích, stále znovu pokládaných a vytrhávaných, sleduje přízračný bod optima. V jeho zdech žijí lidé v přísné organizaci a řádu. Helward Mann odchází z města Země za svěřeným úkolem a netuší, co ho čeká za hradbami. Díky evidentním maličkostem, jež nemůže ignorovat, mu pomalu proniká do vědomí realita okolního světa. Planeta se nezdá být Zemí; svět a vesmír se zásadně liší od jeho znalostí. Svět je převrácený; planeta nekonečné velikosti existuje v konečném vesmíru.
