Canada: HarperCollins, 2002 Original dustjacket. Age and shelf wear to d/j - edges worn, corners bumped. Clean text pages, no internal markings. Tight copy. First Edition. Canadian Edition. "Like Jurassic Park, the novel serves as a cautionary tale about developments in science and technology; in this case, nanotechnology, genetic engineering and artificial intelligence. The book features relatively new advances in the computing/scientific community, such as artificial life, emergence (and by extension, complexity), genetic algorithms, and agent-based computing. The novel is narrated by the protagonist Jack Forman, who is an unemployed software programmer who used to work for a company called Media Tronics when he was fired for discovering an internal scandal."
