It was a miracle of science that permitted human beings to live, if not forever, then for a long, long time. Some people, anyway. The rich, the powerful—they lived their lives at the rate of one year every ten. Somec created two societies: that of people who lived out their normal span and died, and those who slept away the decades, skipping over the intervening years and events. It allowed great plans to be put in motion. It allowed interstellar Empires to be built.
It came near to destroying humanity.
After a long, long time of decadence and stagnation, a few seed ships were sent out to save our species. They carried human embryos and supplies, and teaching robots, and one man. The Worthing Saga is the story of one of these men, Jason WOrthing, and the world he found for the seed he carried.
Orson Scott Card is "a master of the art of storytelling" (Booklist), and The Worthing Saga is a story that only he could have written.

Worthing Saga
This saga is a trilogy of books, all the Worthing books rolled into one. I finished the first book in this about 19May2018 & liked it. It was rather long, but full of interesting ideas about humanity. No pushing of religion. In fact, it's rather dismissed which was unexpected. The few gods had feet of clay, but so did technology & the best intentions. Ammortality & pure safety are examined & found wanting.
Then I listened to a couple of other books. Now, 20May, I'm listening to the next book which is short stories. The first book were short stories about Capital, the other about Worthing farm & its folks. Several of the stories were alluded to or told in short form in the novel which was written afterward. I didn't like those as much, but they were interesting.
All in all, I liked it. It was longer than I wanted, so I'm glad I took a break. A lot of ideas to mull over.
