Title: Good Early Bear
Product review: Some readers might take issue with the author's concept of bioengineering leading to posthumanity instead of nanotechnology. But remember, this book was written before K. Eric Drexler published "Engines of Creation" and well before Robert L. Freitas began describing nanomedicine. While Bear's book does not use the term Singularity - again, this is nearly a decade before Vernor Vinge's famous 1993 speech - it does contain a moving depiction of just such an event. "Blood Music" is remarkably far-sighted and it's also a ripping good yarn.
