Summary
Nebula Award Finalist: A genetic engineering breakthrough may portend the destruction of humanity in this cyberpunk novel by the author of The Forge of God.

 

This Hugo and Nebula Award finalist 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 it left behind. 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 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.

Trippy story, unlike much I've read before. I love biopunk / sci-fi and it's hard to come by.

The story is very interesting, but it’s marred by the audio quality. Possibly, the narrator was moving as he recorded, which would result in the uneven levels throughout. I’d love to hear this title re-recorded as audiobook quality has really improved in the past 15 years since this was released, but I can’t imagine there’s demand for it, sadly. I cannot recommend this audiobook solely for the audio quality and volume. It doesn’t play well in a car, and even at full volume on a cell phone you’re straining to hear it—and then sometimes it’s very loud! Perhaps if you’ll only listen on your headphones.
