Arthur C. Clark’s famous third law of prediction states that “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” But is understanding how something works any more important than the ultimate outcome it produces?

In this month’s story two people separated by a generation are connected and helped by a mysterious force that is driven by ancient and forgotten motivations.
