Xexun Kuon was from childhood aflame with fascinated curiosity about the concealed, unseen opposite side of the satellite body revolving around his planet Farmer. As a university student, he is encouraged to fly there to explore and study these unknown countries. After contact with tribes on the near side, he travels to three lands on the far side, where he discovers stubborn resistance to science innovation and invention. In Siopia, Xexun unites with a researcher who creates two-dimensional wool cloth. He escapes with him and the ruler's daughter into Tikvia, aided by the leader of a movement of shepherds. In Tikvia, the making of nano-cotton is opposed by an underworld syndicate that controls cloth production. A second flight takes Xexun and the two lovers into Durium, a land of silk. Here the development of genetically changed silkworms to produce super-strong spider silk is opposed by the fashion and clothing industry. Xexun finds himself the friendly ally of invention and innovation in all three countries.
