Rather than destroy his work, he injects himself with his creation and walks out of his lab, unaware of just quite how his actions will change the world.Bear's treatment of the traditional tale of scientific hubris is suspenseful and a compelling portrait of a new intelligence emerging amongst us and changing our world irrevocably.This is a novel Greg Bear wrote in 1985.
