Nano Comes to Clifford Falls
Kress Nancy
Blending a focus on
cutting-edge technology with deep emotional impacts, this enticing
collection draws its stories from various Year's Best and Reader's
Choice lists. The pathos of the human condition is explored in such
stories as "My Mother, Dancing," in which seedlings are planted and
those responsible must decide if they will play God with them, or let
natural selection progress; or in "Nano Comes to Clifford Falls," where
nanotechnology brings every wish to everyone—yet dire problems still
ensue. The narratives reveal many forms of artificial intelligence
including a persecuted slave in "Computer Virus," a controlling force of
the universe in "Mirror Image," or even one that's entirely indifferent
to humans in "Savior." From the center of the galaxy to the swamps of
Earth, all 13 inventive tales offer a trademark mix of hard science
fiction interacting with flawed humanity.
