Description

The Xeelee Sequence follows the story of humanity from the relatively near future to the end of the universe. It traces the rise and fall of mankind on a cosmic scale, encounters with alien civilizations, and conflicts that stretch across millennia and vast distances. The journey starts with humanity’s early steps into interstellar space and continues through to the distant fading of the universe. The timeline here is primarily based on the one found in Vacuum Diagrams, which forms a solid foundation for the mainline Xeelee Sequence — but keep in mind, there are some discrepancies and contradictions within Baxter’s larger body of work. We might explore those in future videos, so stay tuned! 👽 Please consider supporting this channel on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ideasoficeandfire or PAYPAL - https://paypal.me/QuinnsIdeas?locale.x=en_US 🎨 Art: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pP6wSIBZ0x7b7BGvGniKpsq7KSNYnt4POKauFm6BHgk/edit?usp=sharing 🎵 Music: https://www.youtube.com/@JamezDahlMusic 📚 Get These Books!

Telling a xeelee that you are the ruler of the Milky way is like telling a human that you're the ruler of that Lego block on the floor over there XD

Hey guys! Just a quick note — the timeline presented in this video does not include the Destiny's Children series, which consists of Coalescent, Exultant, and Transcendent. It also doesn't cover any material from the Altered Timeline, including the books Vengeance, Redemption, and Resplendent. The timeline here is primarily based on the one found in Vacuum Diagrams, which forms a solid foundation for the mainline Xeelee Sequence — but keep in mind, there are some discrepancies and contradictions within Baxter’s larger body of work. We might explore those in future videos, so stay tuned!

All Tomorrows, Xeelee, Star Control, I'm all for this kind of "super science fiction" sagas that span unfathomable scales of time and space.
