Once the world worked differently -- before "the Silence" from space quieted the airwaves.
Once there was a haven called Crescent City, built through the wonders of nanotechnology to transport its enlightened inhabitants into the cosmos. But humanity has failed the city.
Dania Cooper, a brilliant scientist and resilient survivor, and Jason Peabody, a recipient of the DNA-altering virus affecting a remarkable few who were born at the Silence's onset, must now flee the sentient metropolis -- embarking on a bizarre odyssey across a perilous, unrecognizable landscape of tragically "youngening" children, of plague-ravaged humans in foreboding "flower cities," of conscious machines and talking animals. For a world that is not as it was is on the brink of yet another astonishing transformation -- either by grand design or random cosmic accident.
Synopsis
Goonan's Nanotech Quartet concludes as Jason Peabody, one of the few on Earth who remember when radio, television, and the Internet connected the world, makes a startling discovery and begins a journey to find the truth behind long-concealed mysteries.
