A short story that gets out of hand. Not bad but really drags on. Not a Childhood's End but it did get kind of creepy at the end. ...more

Greg Bear loves to write about cellular processes and I always learn something when I read his books. That being said, it gets a bit technical in parts and I have no idea what's going on.

Regardless, good book, alot of fun for the realm of possibilities.

Interesting concept, a compelling read, but ultimately not likable.

The best literary depiction of a biochemical reaction!! Ends up in theoretical physics but it begins with biochemistry.
