Arachne

Just a few years after Till’s funeral, Hunt gained national recognition when the Museum of Modern Art in New York acquired his sculpture “Arachne.”

Expected to launch in 2025, one of Arachne’s assignments is to demonstrate the ability to form and focus a radio-frequency beam in low-Earth orbit.

She had time to think: Arachne.

Annabeth stood there, stunned, as yellow dust—the remains of Arachne—rained around her like tree pollen.

It almost made her glad Arachne had died quickly.
