When Orks invade Serenade and threaten the Tomb, Trazyn defends the planets surface while Orikan destroys their ships. This scholastic rivalry is based not just on imagined Necron society, but also the same kind of dynamics that fuel competing theories of knowledge today. It has a particularly personal resonance for me - I'm a historian by profession, but am the child of mathematicians, and have had these same arguments at the dinner table. Even more broadly though, there is a contemporary tension between these competing forms of knowledge - what kinds of learning, study and research is valued and what isn't. For those of us working in universities right now, the struggle between kinds of knowledge at the heart of this book is very real.

Not So Different" Remark: Trazyn and Orikan have a civil talk while cloaked inside a cafe between their antics, deciding to reflect on humanity around them while they are there; despite being a vastly inferior, younger race that they should be scoffing at compared to their might, Trazyn's time around them (especially in the aftermath of the Horus Heresy) eventually shown him a side to humanity that resonates with him enough to have interfered with their history from time to time, something that even catches Orikan's attention as they continue to talk before recognizing that Trazyn is actively comparing humanity to when they were still the Necrontyr in that, despite their weaknesses, mankind like the Necrontyr managed to claim a name for themselves in a cruel galaxy and could have even ruled the galaxy unquestioningly had adversity not threaten to shatter them like it had the Necrons after the War in Heaven. In the end, the question is asked that has both of them stop to contemplate: "would humanity, in their shoes, have agreed to the same deal the Necrontyr made with the C'tan that cost them their souls"? History requires two parties – the historian and their audience. Without that, one is just talking to oneself.

Time Dissonance: As immortal Necrons, Orikan and Trazyn speak casually of centuries and even millennia. It's mentioned that Necron stage plays can take over a decade to be performed in full, and Orikan regularly spends whole centuries in meditation and thinks nothing of it.

In this light, the novel reads as a manifesto not that Trazyn's brand of cultural scholarship is superior to Orikan's empiricism, but rather that the rivalry itself is stale and artificial, that different forms of knowledge complement each other rather than replace each other. Indeed, the plot forces both protagonists to work together. In the end, they don't just work together, they learn (at least temporarily) from one another. Indeed, this dynamic fuels one of my favourite confrontations of the novel: PDF / EPUB File Name: The_Infinite_and_The_Divine_-_Robert_Rath.pdf, The_Infinite_and_The_Divine_-_Robert_Rath.epubBefore the being called the Emperor revealed Himself, before the rise of the aeldari, before the necrontyr traded their flesh for immortal metal, the world was born in violence.
