The bit in /Shadow/ about the artifacts that have survived so many centuries of futurity, and photographing the era's few extant buildings, doesn't seem compatible with the "previous universe" business.

Some of it is kind of jokey, like referring Urth as being much older 
than our current Earth - of course it's older, duh! The book is set many 
millenia past our era, whether this cycle or not.
