First published in omnibus form in 1970,[1] the trilogy was originally published individually as Captives of the Flame (1963, rewritten as Out of the Dead City in 1968[2]), The Towers of Toron (1964), and City of a Thousand Suns (1965). The first two books were somewhat rewritten for the omnibus edition. Delany describes the extent of the rewriting in a final note in the one-volume text.
The stories of the Fall of the Towers trilogy were originally set in the same post-holocaust Earth as Delany's earlier The Jewels of Aptor; however, linking references were removed in later revised editions.[3]

gollark: The system is also able to detect when there is no prefix available from an upstream interface and can switch into relaying mode automatically to extend the upstream interface configuration onto its downstream interfaces. This is useful for putting the target router behind another IPv6 router which doesn't offer prefixes via DHCPv6-PD.
gollark: OpenWrt features a versatile RA & DHCPv6 server and relay. Per default SLAAC and both stateless and stateful DHCPv6 are enabled on an interface. If there are any prefixes of size /64 or shorter present then addresses will be handed out from each prefix. If all addresses on an interface have prefixes shorter than /64 then DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation is enabled for downstream routers. If a default route is present the router advertises itself as default router on the interface.
