  • "Lustvoll zelebrierter virtueller Tod Am Ende des 21. Jahrhunderts leben die Menschen in einer Gesellschaft, die von virtuellen Realitäten geprägt ist: Kapitalverbrechen sind selten, psychischer Stress wird früh erkannt und vorsorglich abgebaut, Nanotechnologie ermöglicht es sogar, die wildesten sexuellen Fantasien auszuleben, ohne das Haus verlassen zu müssen. Doch auch in dieser standardisierten Welt gibt es perverse Bedürfnisse, die Pornografie ist ein Milliardengeschäft, und immer findet sich ein Weg, die strengen Sicherheitsvorkehrungen auszutricksen, um sich einen neuen Kick zu verschaffen. Und mehr und mehr Menschen verlieren die Grenze zwischen der virtuellen und der realen Wirklichkeit aus den Augen ... Greg Bear wurde 1951 in San Diego geboren und studierte dort englische Literatur. Seit 1975 als freier Schriftsteller tätig, gilt er heute als einer der ideenreichsten wissenschaftlich orientierten Autoren der Gegenwart. Etliche seiner Romane wurden zu internationalen Bestsellern."
  • "In the second half of the twenty-first century, nanotechnology has transformed every aspect of society. Humans can now change their abilities, their appearance, their very bodies on microscopic level. Advanced psychotherapy seems to have wiped away violence and illness. The world is sane and in balance. However, that balance teeters with the grisly murder of two prostitutes and a series of suicides. Soon, public defender Mary Cho’s investigation finds a dark danger lurking in the recesses of the “dataflow.” Entertainment, virtual pornography, neo-Luddite separatists, an unknown artificial intelligence—everything seems to be intertwined in a vast conspiracy. As technology fails so too does the society perched high atop it. Perfection is a high pedestal from which to fall."@en

  • "Au milieu du XXIe siècle, aux Etats-Unis, un multimilliardaire se suicide de façon inexplicable juste après s'être offert à prix d'or les services sexuels d'une star du Yox (spectacle virtuel). Une femme policier entame une difficile enquête qui va l'amener à découvrir l'existence d'un club secret, les Aristos, constitué de richissimes individus mis en hibernation dans des pyramides ..."
  • "Wanneer de cybermiljardair Terence Crest zelfmoord pleegt en de datastromen van het midden van de 21ste eeuw in de war raken, lijkt de maatschappij volledig te worden ontwricht."
