уязвимой поверхности планеты. Сэр Артур Кларк приветствовал «Макрожизнь» как «в целом достойного преемника „Создателя звезд“ Олафа Степлдона». «Жестокие орбиты» («Brute Orbites») Зебровски, повествующие о космической колонии штрафников, получили в 1999 году Мемориальную премию имени Джона Кэмпбелла за лучший роман. В своем «Клиометриконе» («Cliometricon») Зебровски экспериментировал в жанре альтернативной истории, этим же он занимается и в публикуемом здесь рассказе.
