Product Description

Product Description

For Katie Kishida, the nanotechnology revolution begins with an act of love. Katie is a young mother with a successful career and a loving marriage, when her perfect life is shattered by the sudden death of her husband, Tom. Putting her faith in a science that hasn't been invented yet, Katie has Tom's body placed in cryonic suspension-frozen in liquid nitrogen against a time when advances in nanotechnology might heal his injuries and restore his life. Katie never suspects the consequences that will follow. Tom's death and his costly entombment spark immediate political controversy. It's a debate that only grows more passionate as the years go by. Katie's life is taken over by the need to defend her husband's future and to shepherd into existence the controversial technologies that might let him live again . . . even as she's haunted by the question: Does Tom really want to come back? Tech-Heaven is a compelling story of devotion and unyielding determination set amid the tumultuous politics of our time, in a world that is teetering on the cusp of a technological revolution like no other in history. Enjoy all four books of the Nanotech Succession, a collection of stand-alone novels exploring the rise of nanotechnology and the strange and fascinating future that follows-beginning tomorrow and reaching far into time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Realistic take on an Earth with Nanotech, 1 Nov 2010
By E. White "Spyder2010" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tech-Heaven (The Nanotech Succession) (Kindle Edition)
Tech Heaven is the fictional story of one family's experience with the nascent science of post-mortis cryonics, and their struggle to develop and legalize the nanotechnology that could revive their lost father.

Linda Nagata concentrates on creating a compelling and shockingly accurate (IMHO) picture of what the process would look like at a macro level, then applying it to her main character's view point, and succeeding in making the journey interesting and engaging.

Strikingly, none of her characters are paragons. Like real people, most of them reside in a moral gray area and are usually unsure of exactly what they want to do, save for the main character and her family's sole obsession. This, in effect, makes the book a challenging read since it requires the reader to develop their own opinions about what is going on in the near-future America that Linda has crafted so intricately. There are a lot of heavy questions...many of which you could realistically find yourself asking within the next few decades! For a futurist like myself, this book will offer a lot of food for thought.

Of course, the journey is exciting, too! The book spans several decades, but takes breaks at key moments in her characters' life which invariably come fraught with danger and intrigue, from humanist terrorist groups to high-tech espionage and political intrigue, this book maps out the events that could indeed touch a figure like the book's main character Katie.

If you're interested in a compelling speculative fiction story, you'd be well advised to pick up Tech Heaven!
