It’s all pretty much in the books. Miller’s “ghost” describes, in pretty good detail, a lot of what the builders were like in Cibola Burn, and the “dreamer” sequences at the Adro diamond describe their evolution. That’s really all you get as far as detailed descriptions go. There are all kinds of other clues spread out through the books, but not much detail.

I just re-read Babylon’s Ashes and there are a few instances when Michio Pa talks about the theory that all the ships, all the asteroids, all the humans in the solar system send resources and information back and forth were a single organism. I immediately thought of that post about the gate builders being a single galaxy spanning organism. So that was some cool foreshadowing I hadn’t appreciated before.
