Tbf, as someone who's never read or heard of the book, it just seemed like an interesting quote about a hypothetical future for humanity. Definitely didn't occur to me it might be a spoiler.

Ive read all 3 books, though a while ago. I have to think hard about what this could be referring to.

I remember, now, but it wouldn’t be a spoiler for me.

I haven’t read any of them, but from what I’ve heard of the plot of the first, it seems reasonable to want a spoiler tag here

without context would it's pretty meaningless imho

Worse, the past tense of "begot" is "begat."

> Past tense of beget is begot or begat
