Space Lords T-shirt
Space Lords T-shirt Bobs cover for the book by Cordwainer Smith
Space Lords is a collection of interconnected stories set in Cordwainer Smith’s vast future history of the Instrumentality of Mankind, a civilization that spans thousands of years. The book highlights humanity’s long struggle to rediscover emotion, individuality, and freedom after ages of rigid technocratic control.
Each story follows characters who confront deep moral and psychological challenges in a universe shaped by Underpeople (animals genetically uplifted to serve humans), lost planets, mysterious technologies, and the powerful but often distant Lords of the Instrumentality. Through encounters with rebellion, sacrifice, and strange cultural transformations, the characters begin to awaken qualities—compassion, love, courage—that the tightly controlled society has nearly forgotten.
Rather than depicting space battles or traditional adventure, Space Lords explores the inner conflicts of a future society trying to rebuild its soul, offering haunting, poetic visions of what humanity might become.
