Direct Descent by Frank Herbert is a science fiction novella set on a future Earth that has become a vast library planet, where specialized librarians known as “pack rats” collect, preserve, and control the accumulated knowledge of the galaxy. Knowledge functions as a form of power, currency, and political leverage, positioning information itself as a weapon against authoritarian regimes.
