Only slight wear to book and DJ ; A bright, solid book, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped.; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 320 pages; "What happens when humans tamper with the natural course of evolution without anticipating the effect of their actions Answer: absolutely nothing good. Niven and Harringtons novel follows Dr. Toby Glyer, a brilliant scientist and the man responsible for creating nanonites. Early in his career, Glyers nanonites were shot onto an asteroid for the purpose of study and then promptly forgotten about. Twenty-five years later, the same asteroid is now on a collision course with earth, and driving the asteroid are evolved, now-sentient nanonites. If this impending doom at the hands of nanonites was not enough, Dr. Glyer suspects that humans, to amazing side effects, are unknowingly ingesting these evolved nanonites. Incredibly, across the nation, cancer is down, infant mortality is down, terrorism is down, and acts of violence are down. But a darker side is brewing; suicide of a very particular section of the population is skyrocketing. " (Booklist)
