Questions, I have questions.

Oh, Grimm's ship. I thought it was some monster down in the mist. I am very curious about the surface and why humans didn't settle there. And since these humans need a generation to create a hole in the spire stone, I'm wondering if humans built the spires at all. If they did, they had a lot better technology at one time.

knnn:
Yeah, there are a bunch of obscure hints about of how civilization broke down (possibly in connection to the weirdness on the planet).  FWIW, there's a minor theory on these forums that "Habble" used to be "Habitat", and that the spires were originally built for space travel and landed on the planet.

I'd recommend finishing the book first.  Then you can come back and join the result of us in speculation.

rreed423:
I have now finished the book, and among other things I am curious about steel that rusts very fast unless it is covered with copper. Is that just a device to limit the technology of these people? What could be in the air that would cause that? High oxygen levels? If that were true, then fire would burn much faster too.
