Add to basketPublished by Tor Books in 2007, this science fiction novel by Rudy Rucker imagines a near-future California where an unstable tech mogul and an erratic American president unleash sentient nanomachines intended to remake reality. Their initial attempt is thwarted by Chu, an autistic child, but subsequent events draw in towering beings from a parallel quantum realm who intervene in human affairs. The book reflects Rucker's longstanding interests in transhumanism, mathematics, and what he has termed transrealist fiction, blending speculative technology with offbeat characters and cosmic scope.
