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:
“The future of humanity is uncertain, even in the most prosperous countries, and the quality of life deteriorates; and yet I believe that what is being discovered about the infinitely large and infinitely small is sufficient to absolve this end of the century and millennium. What a very few are acquiring in knowledge of the physical world will perhaps cause this period not to be judged as a pure return of barbarism.”
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
“At sixty, I would like to give my future back its vistas of uncertainty.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“As the mother of a son, I do not accept that alienation from me is necessary for his discovery of himself. As a woman, I will not cooperate in demeaning womanly things so that he can be proud to be a man. I like to think the women in my son’s future are counting on me.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
