The boy was raised as one of the Chained, condemned to toil in the bowels of a mining ship out among the stars. His whole world changes--literally--when he is yanked "upstairs" and informed he has been given an opportunity to be educated at the ship's university alongside the elite. Overwhelmed and alone, the boy forms a bond with the woman he comes to know as "the professor," a weary idealist and descendent of the Chained who has spent her career striving for validation from her more senior colleagues, only to fall short at every turn. Together, the boy and the woman will embark on a transformative journey to grasp the design of the chains that fetter them both--and are the key to breaking free. --… (mere)

A boy chained since infancy in the hold of a large asteroid mining ship is given a chance at a university education. He and his professor learn the truth about the cruelty of the slave economy and the mystical practice that could transform the species. The Practice, the Horizon, and the Chain is a stylish novella whose admirers compare it to Ursula Le Guin's more mystical works. I would have enjoyed it more with less mysticism and more plebeian world-building. ( )

At times poetic and others philosophical, The Practice, the Horizon, and the Chain was an interesting story set in the future about one boys rise from slave to student and the struggles he faced.
There was much I didn't fully understand about the story but it was beautifully written and left much up to your imagination to figure out where this story would go next. ( )

The boy was taken upstairs without warning, unprotesting as he had been through all the changes in his seventeen years, the shifts from cell to cell each time he outgrew the bolt upon his ankle and the Doctor came to exchange it for a larger one, an operation performed with a tool the Hold people called the Mallet, which jarred the whole leg and sometimes made the blood spray from the ankle bone, and caused a sense of queasiness and superstitious awe in the boy, who would glimpse, for the instant during which the bolt and chain were removed, the shiny and alien-looking patch of underexposed skin on his leg which, according to the prophet, housed the seat of the soul.
