as the title says. If you think about it the Far Star is literally:
32-year-old banished senator, A+ intuition, clotheshorse, would shag local political officials to continue his mission but disapproves of old man and young hive mind love.
Old man minor historian, nerd, divorced, in love with a woman half his age for some reason and lets her mind-fuck him with global hive mind stuff.
conventionally attractive female that's part of a global collective with overflowing motherly love. Also in love with old historian above.
a 14-year-old child they picked up on some planet.
a computer that the said banished senator is basically in love with (they hold hands mentally)
Seriously no one's doing it like Asimov. What a hell of a crew.
