David Brin, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of Startide Rising and The Postman Wil McCarthy dares to combine two branches of scientific studyspace-travel technology and biotechnologyto create a chilling and very believable future as Bloom pits humankind against an enemy of its own creation, grown rampantly out of control. In the late twenty-first century, man-made, self-replicating organisms called mycorasmaller than the tiniest bacteriamutated and swept across the globe in a chain reaction so swift and deadly there was no time to act. No time to do anything but flee an Earth destroyed by the very science created to nurture and sustain it. Soon the entire inner solar system was consumed, incorporated into the lethal psychedelic bloom of the Mycosystem. Scant years later, the remnants of humanity cling to the asteroid belt and the inhospitable moons of Jupiter. As the society known as the Immunity ekes out a precarious existence, fighting off the invasion of deadly mycospores while working feverishly to build a starship that will carry them to safety, an ominous discovery alters everything. Mycora are incorporating gene sequences to elude Immunity defensesperhaps even to thrive in the harsh environment of the outer system. The only way to be sure is to journey into the diseased heart of the Mycosystem, from which no one has ever returned.

SCIENCE FICTION BOOK SELECTION BLOOM by WIL MCCARTHY Bloom (1998) A science fiction book featuring nanotechnology A New York Times Notable Book cover art by Rick Berry Del Rey paperback - 303 pages From the back cover: Mycora: technogenic life. Fast-reproducing, fast-mutating, and endlessly voracious. In the year 2106, these microscopic machine/creatures have escaped their creators to populate the inner solar system with a wild, deadly ecology all their own, pushing the tattered remnants of humanity out into the cold and dark of the outer planets. Even huddled beneath the ice of Jupiter's moons, protected by a defensive system known as the Immunity, survivors face the constant risk of mycospores finding their way to the warmth and brightness inside the habitats, resulting in a calamitous "bloom." But the human race still has a trick or two up its sleeve: In a ship specially designed to penetrate the deadly Mycosystem, seven astronauts are about to embark on mankind's boldest venture yet-the perilous journey home to infected Earth. Yet it is in these remote conditions, against a virtually omnipotent foe, that we discover how human nature plays the greatest role in humanity's future.

Epiphyte Book Review up to review index Bloom by Wil McCarthy In the early twenty-second century, nanotech gone wild has more or less eaten the Earth and the entire inner Solar System. The surviving humans fled to the asteroid belt and the moons of Jupiter, where they fight a constant battle against spores, known as mycora, from the inner system. Mankind is close to extinction, and not very happy about it. The inhabitants of the moons of Jupiter call themselves the Immunity. When it's discovered that humans are actually engineering some of the lethal spores to overcome the countermeasures, the Immunity prepares a mission back into the deadly Mycosystem to discover how the mycora are evolving, and what has become of the Earth. The Immunity is an interesting, if dour, society, entirely preoccupied with staying alive and fighting the spores. Their caverns are powered by the ladderdown reactor, which allows them to convert elements into others lower down on the periodic table. This results in an abundance of metals with low atomic numbers; gold is used to pave the streets and weight low-gravity shoes. Along with the low population, this has resulted in an economy where the most valuable commodities are uranium and manpower. John Strasheim is a shoemaker by trade and an amateur journalist by preference in a society that can't spare the manpower for professional journalism. He's awarded the uncomfortable honor of serving as mission correspondent on the voyage, which he's well aware is the next best thing to a suicide mission. McCarthy occasionally gets a bit overly cute with Strasheim's multimedia narrative, describing the camera shots, graphics, and technical detail that are supposed to accompany the text we're reading. A little of that sort of thing goes a long way.

Epiphyte Book Review up to review index Murder In the Solid State by Wil McCarthy David Sanger is a rising young nanotech researcher; his idea of a really neat weekend is presenting papers and rubbing elbows with his idols at an international conference on molecular fabrication. However, the academic backbiting at the conference gets a bit out of hand when a rival, Big Otto Vandegroot, picks a very public fight with David and attacks him with an extensible sword (plastic, but deadly) known as a drop foil. Someone presses a drop foil into David's hand, and he manages to defend himself and dump Big Otto on his butt. Big Otto Vandegroot is a right dastardly villain who does justice to his name. His invention of a molecule detector (the "Sniffer") has made him the darling of the fascist Gray Party, and he uses his political clout to stifle his colleagues' research. By rights, he should have long waxed mustachioes to twirl. He wouldn't get to twirl them for very long, though; the morning after the fight, his body is found, and the murder weapon is the drop foil that David obligingly covered with his fingerprints the night before. Despite the title and the setup

51. Wil McCarthy, Bloom wil mccarthy, Bloom (Del Rey, 1998). Many fashionable Victorians owned a device through which they viewed photoreduced reproductions http://www.rambles.net/mccarthy_bloom.html

Wil McCarthy, Bloom (Del Rey, 1998) Many fashionable Victorians owned a device through which they viewed photo-reduced reproductions of such things as monuments, royalty and even text abstracts. The bottom dropped right out of the market when Louis Pasteur's germ theory of disease bred paranoia and fear of a miniature invisible enemy. In Wil McCarthy's Bloom , a character makes a similar inference on encountering chunky electronic components aboard an interplanetary ship. In this case the aversion results from humanity's experience with technogenic life, the mycora, a nano-technology which slipped the leash of human control on Earth and ate everything and everyone, breaking them down to constituent components. Before the end came, a remnant of humankind managed to get off the planet so that at the beginning of the novel, when we meet one such evacuee, John Strasheim, he has spent 20 years on the Jupiter moon Ganymede, living and working within a society which is, understandably, totally focused on survival. The intermittent arrival of mycora spores on the solar wind from the consumed inner solar system is working to keep everyone sharp. Strasheim, the first-person narrator, is a shoemaker and, yes, his tale is in many ways a heroic one. For John's special talent for reportage means that he is exalted to join a select, specially chosen band who will journey into the Mycosystem, the inner planets of the solar system now completely colonized by the fast evolving mycora. They make the journey in a ship (the

Wil McCarthy, Martin H. Once Upon a Galaxy (DAW, 2002) This collection of 14 sci-fi stories, all loosely based on classic fairy tales, is what is typically referred to as a "beach read," which means that it is not bad, but probably not destined to become a classic, either. These stories are easy to read, entertaining, but ultimately forgettable. For an afternoon of relaxed reading, this book is perfect buy it. If you are looking for a serious literary adventure, however, keep shopping. A common theme through many of the stories is the way that unknown technology can seem like magic. As Wil McCarthy wrote in his introduction: Even as a child I was bothered by the fact that fairy tales, without exception, hinge on a supernatural occurrence. I had waited and waited for a supernatural occurrence in my own life, some little sparkle of magic, but it never quite seemed to happen. And in a way, this seemed to undermine the authority of fairy tales, to relegate them to some other, slightly parallel universe where things like that could really happen. As an adult, he came to realize that those magical events could actually be the result of technology, whether real or hypothetical.

Forum Interview with SF author Wil McCarthy Monday, March 22 2004 @ 05:58 PM EST Contributed by: wfz I am pleased to present this exclusive interview with science fiction author Wil McCarthy, whose latest book is LOST IN TRANSMISSION (Bantam Spectra). Q1. What do you like about LOST IN TRANSMISSION that represents a step forward over your previous work? Well, in the first place it's the only true "middle book" I've ever written. As a story I think it stands well on its own, and the early reviews seem to support this, but several key events take place outside the book's time frame. That's an artistic challenge, to hold the narrative together when so much of it takes place offstage. Also, most of my books however thoughtful have been adventure stories at heart. THE COLLAPSIUM was structured as a fairy tale, and although no one noticed, THE WELLSTONE was modeled on the Greek epics, particularly ARGONAUTICA. In these stories, people get into trouble, then they get out again. They end up better off than they started, and along the way there's lots of mind candy to keep the reader entertained. But the structure of LOST IN TRANSMISSION is more akin to a Greek tragedy, where the characters end up wiser for their choices, but not necessarily richer or happier. That's the real artistic challenge, because a book like that could easily be dreary. But the same is true of real life; sooner or later the universe will kill us all, and yet this fact doesn't stop us from enjoying the richness and beauty and humor all around us. It's the journey that matters, not the known-to-be-awful destination. But to capture that in a work of fiction is a difficult, delicate thing.

Hacking Matter: levitating chairs, quantum mirages, and the infinite weirdness of programmable atoms . Basic Books. 2003 Review: Quantum dots are nanoscale regions, manufacturable with fairly conventional solid state technology, where electrons can be confined to behave like "artificial atoms". McCarthy takes us on a tour of the fascinating physics behind these dots, and some of the wondrous things such artificial atoms could do. Matter containing arrays of such dots could have seemingly magical properties. Moreover, using technology similar to that used to control computer circuits today, the properties of the electron confinement (and hence of the artificial atoms) can be altered, so these properties could be programmable . Matter could change its transparency, thermal and electrical conductivity, stiffness, colour, texture, whatever, effectively instantaneously. To start with, McCarthy describes the physics behind all this. It's quite deep, and I'm not sure how comprehensible to someone without quite a lot of the background already. But it's clearly explained, with little vignettes from the scientists involved that enliven, but do not overshadow, the technical concepts.
