Mariposa by Greg Bear:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas
Excellent novel set in near-future America defies my efforts to write a quick summary without spoiling plot lines. Plenty of intrigue, interesting characters and highly likely technologies. Trust Bear, read it. Select
an invention:
Dattoo A data exchange device worn on the skin like a tattoo.
|
EPR Phone Telephony that uses quantum effects for transmission - and is therefore the ultimate in anti-eavesdropping technology.
|
Robot Snake Spy A small robot in the shape of a snake, used for field work by spies.
|
Skin Computer A computer that looks like a tattoo, on a stretchable base.
|
Zip Paper Very thin display like a single sheet of paper.
