Queen of Angels by Greg Bear:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas
This novel is set in a near future (~2048) Earth; nanotechnology has transformed society. New therapies are available to virtually guarantee the creation of a large class of worker bees. Murder is almost unheard of, and when it occurs, only the best are chosen to solve the crime - "high naturals" - untherapied individuals. Great read. Select an invention:
Dustmice - tiny robot detectives |
Eloi - long lifers |
Home Manager - AI + Franklin Planner |
Live Carpet - sensor fibers are self-cleaning |
Monomol Mesh Armor - chain (molecule) mail |
