Blood Music by Greg Bear:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas
A marvelous novel, expanded from the short story of the same name. Vergil Ulam is a frustrated biologist and geneticist working on biological computers - in a word, smart viruses and bacteria. When he is kicked out of his lab for working with recombinant DNA, he decides to take some of his work home. A classic cautionary tale about fooling with Mother Nature. Select an invention:
Biologics - organic computing |
Intellectual Cell - cellular computing |
Medically Applicable Biochip - a microarray |
