Future
Some loose ends have not been rectified, however. In Xenocide, it is revealed that the Free People of Earth disappeared soon after Peter's death and was later replaced by the Starways Congress; therefore, it is left unsaid if it actually collapsed because of Peter's death or simply because it mutated to a universal government due to the expansion of the human race and the obvious need of a new constitution for the outer worlds.

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“But I choose to think he is escaped from the possibility of falling into any future afflictions, and that neither the malice of his pretended friends nor the sufferings of his real ones can ever again rend and torment his honest heart.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“And all your future lies beneath your hat.”
—John Oldham (1653–1683)
“Common sense should tell us that reading is the ultimate weapon—destroying ignorance, poverty and despair before they can destroy us. A nation that doesn’t read much doesn’t know much. And a nation that doesn’t know much is more likely to make poor choices in the home, the marketplace, the jury box and the voting booth...The challenge, therefore, is to convince future generations of children that carrying a book is more rewarding than carrying guns.”
—Jim Trelease (20th century)
