Description

The Pedesterra Cycle is science-fiction trilogy set in a universe where myriapods—a subphylum of arthropods containing millipedes and centipedes—are sentient and sapient. Songs include The Calculus of Division, Interlude and the Cleansing, and The Answer. The songs center on a plot by the more advanced centipedes to dominate the millipedes in order to sow doubt in math and thereby divide them into factions. While the millipedes distracted, the carnivorous centipedes will eat the detritivorous—eating organic waste such as rotting wood—millipedes’ young.
