One entry on the list:The Nanotech Quartet, by Kathleen Ann GoonanRead about another novel on the list.
Like [Linda] Nagata's novel [The Bohr Maker], the four books in Goonan's celebrated Nanotech Quartet focus on how humanity changes after strong nanotechnology allows us to reshape ourselves and the landscape using complicated programs. As a result, our cities become massive life forms, with buildings that grow like flowers. And humans are all too vulnerable to computer viruses that treat everything as data, including our bodies and minds.
Writers Read: Kathleen Ann Goonan (August 2011).
