A well-written space saga in which nanotechnology that has been specially engineered for humans doesn’t quite work out as planned. Stross puts a larger-than-life cast of characters in ever-increasing peril from social chaos brought about by, among other things, anti-aging treatments on Earth. Three generations of a family thus fight in very different ways to survive, and reviewers have differed rather sharply on this book’s ultimate style and message. It has been called both “brilliant” and “inchoate.”
