Summary "The Celestial Blueprint" by Philip José Farmer is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The book delves into themes of art, ambition, and revenge within a futuristic society, exploring the consequences of a society that follows a rigid belief structure embodied in a literal "Celestial Blueprint" that dictates every individual's role and fate. The story revolves around B. T. Revanche, a wealthy and ruthless financier who harbors a deep disdain for the citizens of Dafess, a city governed by strict social doctrines and an oppressive worldview dictated by their scriptures. Seeking revenge against the people who once marginalized him, Revanche collaborates with the eccentric artist and inventor Da Vincelleo to execute a plan that twists the religious tenants of Dafess against its own citizens. As the narrative unfolds, the inhabitants eagerly anticipate their prophesied salvation, only to be met with merciless retribution. Da Vincelleo's elaborate scheme leads to the creation of robotic enforcers that embody the twisted legacy of the city's beliefs, ultimately culminating in a chaotic climax filled with irony and dark humor that reflects on the nature of justice and vengeance in a divided world.
