About this item

Prepare for a different kind of singularity in Peter Watts Echopraxia, the follow-up to the Hugo-nominated novel Blindsight. Its the eve of the twenty-second century a world where the dearly departed send postcards back from Heaven and evangelicals make scientific breakthroughs by speaking in tongues where genetically engineered vampires solve problems intractable to baseline humans and soldiers come with zombie switches that shut off self-awareness during combat. And its all under surveillance by an alien presence that refuses to show itself. Daniel Bruks is a living fossil a field biologist in a world where biology has turned computational, a cats-paw used by terrorists to kill thousands. Taking refuge in the Oregon desert, hes turned his back on a humanity that shatters into strange new subspecies with every heartbeat.



About the Author

Peter Watts

This is awkward and a little creepy. They tell me I have to do it for promotional purposes, but I've already got a blog. I've already got a website. Being told that setting up an author page on fcuking *Amazon* is essential to success? A company that treats us all like such goddamn children it doesn't even allow us to correctly spell an epithet with a venerable history going back 900 years or more? That just sucks the one-eyed purple trouser eel.Still, here I am. But if you're really all that interested, go check out my actual blog/website. Google is not your friend (any more than Amazon is) , but at least it'll point you in the right direction.I'm the one on the left, by the way.
