# The Future Begins in a Monastery

In a desert monastery, long after civilisation has crumbled, monks are preserving blueprints and memos like holy relics. A Canticle for Leibowitz unfolds over centuries, tracing humanity’s habit of rising, falling – and doing it all over again. Michael Dirda sets the scene with his introduction, and illustrator Elliot Lang shares more about his connection to the novel in a specially written afterword. It’s a Folio shaped with care – and a real love for a sci-fi story that still hits close to home. Step inside, and follow the flicker of gold through the ruins of humanity.
