That initiative is complicated by a growing conflict with Permania, a neighboring interstellar empire led by Morul Fistibula, a pugnacious simian humanoid eager to expand into Sinkri space.
Yet the Sinkri government is divided, with different factions plotting against each other and interstellar corporations jockeying for power. And in the Compnet, which threatens to envelop both Sinkrus and Permania, a feud breaks out between Galactic Prime Controller Vis Forat and Meredith of the Antibes Cluster, member of a clone line infamous for falling prey to psychosis.
Her newest Antibes Gamma clone, Kendra, meets a mysterious clone created by an artificial intelligence, Jaggarex. Rex is capricious, an absolute master of virtual reality, who loves to break rules and get away with it. He lures Kendra into his games. With conflicts building inside of conflicts, and intrigues simmering everywhere, Chaos Ascending races forward at light speed to a fantastic and unexpected series of climaxes.
What is lost in translation may be a war, a world, a way of life. A unique look into the nineteenth-century clash of empires from both sides of the earthshaking encounter, this book reveals the connections between international law, modern warfare, and comparative grammar--and their influence on the shaping of the modern world in Eastern and Western terms.
The Clash of Empires brings to light the cultural legacy of sovereign thinking that emerged in the course of the violent meetings between the British Empire and the Qing Dynasty Lydia Liu demonstrates how the collision of imperial will and competing interests, rather than the civilizational attributes of existing nations and cultures, led to the invention of China, the East, the West, and the modern notion of the world in recent history.
Drawing on her archival research and comparative analyses of English--and Chinese--language texts, as well as their respective translations, she explores how the rhetoric of barbarity and civilization, friend and enemy, and discourses on sovereign rights, injury, and dignity were a central part of British imperial warfare.

For me, the conception of a painting is an idea of one thing or several things that can become visible through my painting.
It is understood that all ideas are not conceptions for pictures. Obviously, an idea must be sufficiently stimulating for me to undertake to paint faithfully the thing or things I have ideated.
The conception of a picture, that is, the idea, is not visible in the picture: an idea cannot be seen with the eyes. What is represented in a picture is what is visible to the eyes, it is the thing or things that must have been ideated. Thus, what are represented in the picture The Empire of Light are the things I ideated, i. The landscape evokes night and the sky evokes day. I call this power: poetry. If I believe this evocation has such poetic power, it is because among other reasons, I have always felt the greatest interest in night and in day, yet without ever having preferred one or the other.
