Reviews
"[A] rousing yet thoughtful adventure story." --The New York Times Book Review "[A] VIEW OF MANKIND'S FUTURE AND THE UNIVERSE REMINISCENT OF ARTHUR C. CLARKE." --The Denver Post "BLOOM is one of the most fast-paced and powerfully dark visions of nanotechnology gone awry since Greg Bear's Blood Music. McCarthy succeeds on many levels, combining a unique literary style with complex scientific speculation and political intrigue." --Locus "What clever and compelling science fiction! The Bloom future is all too believable." --JAMES GLEICK    Author of Chaos: Making a New Science "Wil McCarthy makes ideas jump. Bloom grabs you from the very first scene and doesn't let go till the last page. It's irresistible." --WALTER JON WILLIAMS     Author of City on Fire "Swiftly paced, consistently inventive and tightly written." --The Washington Post Book World "McCarthy is an entertaining, intelligent, amusing writer, with Heinlein's knack for breakneck plotting and, at the same time, Clarke's thoughtfulness." --Booklist (starred review) "Bloom is tense, dynamic, intelligent, offering a terrifyingly vivid view of how technology can rocket out of our control." --DAVID BRIN    Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of Startide Rising From the Paperback edition., "[A] rousing yet thoughtful adventure story." --The New York Times Book Review "[A] VIEW OF MANKIND'S FUTURE AND THE UNIVERSE REMINISCENT OF ARTHUR C.

    This book arrived very very well wrapped; it is obvious to me that the seller loves books and wants them protected. The book was in great condition, just as advertised, and the price was quite fair. I am happy with this purchase and will buy from this seller again.
