Blood Music Mass market paperbound - 1991

by Greg Bear


Summary

In the tradition of the greatest cyberpunk novels, Blood Music explores the imminent destruction of mankind and the fear of mass destruction by technological advancements. Blood Music follows present-day events in which the fears concerning the nuclear annihilation of the world subsided after the Cold War and the fear of chemical warfare spilled over into the empty void of nuclear fear. An amazing breakthrough in genetic engineering made by Vergil Ulam is considered too dangerous for further research, but rather than destroy his work, he injects himself with his creation and walks out of his lab, unaware of just quite how his actions will change the world. Author Greg Bear's treatment of the traditional tale of scientific hubris is both suspenseful and a compelling portrait of a new intelligence emerging amongst us, irrevocably changing our world.

New York: Ace Books, 1986. Previous Owner Markings (Moderately-Heavily Underlined and Notated Throughout); Light Creasing on Front Cover; Moderate Creasing on Spine; Spine Moderately Cocked. The smallest of organisms. The greatest of transformations. So begins tomorrow... SYNOPSIS: THE FUTURE WITHIN... Vergil Ulam was the genius behind "biologic." The restructuring of cells.
