Kibou-Daini/New Hope II
The setting for the Vorkosigan book, CryoBurn. The inhabitants of this planet freeze their dead in the hopes of one day being able to revive them, causing a demographic imbalance impairing the planet's functions over time. Various personal names and honorifics suggest that the founding culture was Eurasian, and predominantly Japanese. A local Kibou-Daini lad is one of the three viewpoint characters in the book.

Famous quotes containing the word hope:
“Hope is itself a species of happiness, and, perhaps, the chief happiness which this world affords: but, like all other pleasures immoderately enjoyed, the excesses of hope must be expiated by pain; and expectations improperly indulged must end in disappointment.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
