aulandez: Lost World setting in which simplicity has been used to avoid the past failings of humanity. Similar use of sci-fi tools, similar characterization, straightforward yet not overly simple.

Desde hace 40 millones de años la colonia humana del planeta Armonía ha sido regida por un poderoso ordenador conocido como Alma Suprema, que es venerado casi como un dios. Su misión consiste en mantener alejado al hombre de la capacidad destructiva que le obligó a abandonar la Tierra. La tecnología apenas existe en Armonía. Hay ordenadores y placas solares, pero el medio de transporte es el caballo y la única arma, la espada «energética». Alma Suprema, sin embargo, ha detectado fallos en sus propios sistemas y sólo podrá evitar una guerra catastrófica viajando a la Tierra de nuevo. Para ello debe escoger a un hombre íntegro y revelarle el antiguo conocimiento de los viajes a través de las estrellas.

High above the planet Harmony, the Oversoul watches. Its task, programmed so many millennia ago, is to guard the human settlement on this planet, to protect this fragile remnant of Earth from all threats...to protect them, most of all, from themselves.
The Oversoul has done its job well. There is no war on Harmony. There are no weapons of mass destruction. There is no technology that could lead to weapons of war. By control of the data banks, and subtle interference in the very thoughts of the people, the artificial intelligence has fulfilled its mission.

But now there is a problem. In orbit, the Oversoul realizes that it has lost access to some of its memory banks, and some of its power systems are failing. And on the planet, men are beginning to think about power, wealth, and conquest.

OSC is a hit or miss author for me. This I remember enjoying but haven't sought it out since. (

I have such respect for Orson Scott Card that it was hard to rate this low. The writing is fantastic, the effort in weaving the tale commendable, but the fact that I felt that it was pretty much plagiarized from the Book of Mormon left a really bad taste in my mouth. (
