Tor. 1994 Review: Humanity has been scattered and devastated by nanotech information plagues, and is living in fear of the 'Enlivened' nan technology, and especially the Flower Cities. Verity, who may be an escapee from Cincinnati, has been adopted by a fragile community of New Shakers. But when the community finally collapses, she finds she must travel back to the feared city, to discover her strange history, and to decide her fate. We travel with Verity through a new, incomprehensible and frightening landscape that has been totally transformed by the all-powerful nanotechnology. Her confusion as she herself is altered by nan assemblers, and struggles to maintain her identity in face of onslaught by the City and its strange inhabitants, is well drawn, and we feel her confusion, too. This is a wonderful portrayal of the potential horrors of nanotechnology . I would have liked to have seen a little more of the positive side - it is there, but gets rather overwhelmed by the negative - but this does well in showing how different things, and people, will be. And it's a good story, too - you really want Verity to win through it all, to solve the puzzle of the City, and to escape safely. A wonderful first novel.

I will therefore start by giving some background information about it. The book Nanodreams (edited by Elton Elliot, Baen, 1995) gives a sample of the different approaches to nanotechnology . Those of you who haven't heard the word before should know that the concept "nanotechnology" developed in the 1970s, when Eric Drexler published the book Engines of Creation Drexler prophesised that we in the future, say within 50 years, will be able to control nature, down to its nanocomponents, i.e. down to 10

Afterwards, Sam promises that he will do anything he can to stop the war. During his training, Sam begins to show that he has a knack for science and engineering, and he is plucked from the daily grunt work of twenty-mile marches by his superiors to study subjects like code breaking, electronics, and physics in particular, a science that is growing more important to the war effort. While studying, Sam is seduced by a mysterious female physicist that is teaching one of his courses, and given her plans for a device that will end the war, perhaps even end the human predilection for war forever. But the device does something less, and more, than that. SF-Bokhandeln Postadress: Box 2300, 103 17 Stockholm E-mail: order@sfbok.se

What Science Fiction is All About or, The Amazing Dancing Chairs by Kathleen Ann Goonan 2,200 Words. But until I got the junkyard chairs, I could never figure out why people put dresses on their dining room chairs, tied in the back with bows as if the chairs were demure little girls going to church. Why not put frilly white socks on the legs, and some black patent-leather shoes on them, too? Maybe that would be nice in a museum show. I might follow up on that. I bring it up, though, because I picked up some chairs at the county dump last year. I am a science fiction writer. I want to write a science fiction stories, but presently all of my ideas have to do with old cartoons, the real ones from the fifties made with millions of cells, in which chairs danced. I am very sure that they must be right about the dangers of science. I can think of a lot of problems. For instance, if the chairs developed consciousness and a mind of their own, what a mess that would be. As a former preschool teacher, I can tell you that if you mixed a class of four-year-olds with a roomful of dancing chairs you might as well hang it up now. It is fun to think about, though.

Her Nanotech Quartet, including her celebrated first novel Queen City Jazz , is about a future United States where nanotech has gone wild and turned cities into living entities and reprogrammed people to reenact scenarios from US history and literature. One of Goonan's favorite US art forms is jazz, and she often structures her novels like jazz songs. Along with Linda Nagata, author of The Bohr Maker , Goonan pioneered the literary nanopunk movement, a surreal subgenre of cyberpunk that's as much about art and psychology as it is about tech. You can find traces of nanopunk in everything from Jeff Noon's Vurt to Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age . Recently we had a chance to talk to Goonan about the difference between what she calls "strong" and "weak" nanotech futures. What initially inspired your interest in writing about nanotech futures?

kathleen ann goonan Updating Mary Shelley's Frankenstein Kathleen Ann Goonan's Queen City Jazz Kate Sisson, Science, Technology, and Culture junior Frankenstein has haunted the minds and creations of writers since Mary Shelley's story hit the press in 1818. For nearly 200 years authors have rewritten this story to imagine both beautiful and horrific creations. One of the most beautiful and noteworthy children of Shelley's legacy is Kathleen Ann Goonan's 1994 novel Queen City Jazz In the first novel of her nanotech series, Goonan offers a retelling of Frankenstein set in a world of biotechnology and bumblebees. If she had used Shelley's characters, Goonan's modern science fiction reworking of Frankenstein would go like this: In Queen City Jazz , Goonan drastically rewrites the Frankenstein story by placing it in a future world controlled by nano- and biotechnology. This enables her to both invoke and extend Shelley's ideas concerning scientific creation, human identity, and feminist critiques of science. intro ethics of creation bodies and identity domesticity, morality,

Kathleen Ann Goonan's 'In War Times' is a fairly straightforward vision of what might have happened in our world from the eve of Pearl Harbor onward. But Goonan's low-key genre fiction approach is complimented by the kind of prose, plot and character building that one expects to find in the finest American literary work. 'In War Times' is a superb novel that manages to explore fascinating scientific and social concepts within the framework of a sweeping but incredibly concise family saga. It is a book that will make you think and cry. Sam Dance is an enlisted soldier smart and lucky enough to have been shuffled into an academic fast-track for intensive courses in codebreaking, engineering and even theoretical physics. Even better, he's just been seduced by one of his teacher, an exotic woman who calls herself Eliana Hadntz. She sees something special in Sam, and gives him the plan for a device and a working model. Perhaps. What the device does is not clear, and the plans are to say the least, unusual. She leaves him with his head full of ideas and a mysterious gadget in his hands. The next day, his brother is killed when Pearl Harbor is attacked.

19. Kathleen Ann Goonan: The Bones Of Time - An Infinity Plus Review The Bones of Time opens with two tragic losses and ends in too much of a whambam hurry a good and entertaining novel, but if goonan would just relax and http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/nonfiction/bonetime.htm

The Bones of Time The Bones of Time opens with two tragic losses and ends in too much of a wham-bam hurry. The prologue is set in 1887, as Kaiulani Cleghorn, the last princess of Hawaii, witnesses the slow death of her mother, who has taken to her bed as if she has simply lost the will to live an affliction that was apparently common at the time of the American annexation of the islands. A holy man, a kahuna, has cursed her mother, and now he curses Kaiulani, too: to a visionary talent that will have repercussions 150 years later. The story jumps to the 2030s, when Lynn Oshima, daughter of the head of the powerful and inevitably sinister corporation Interspace, miscarries the baby whose father she had selected from a catalogue. Recovering, Lynn is given the chance to fly to Hong Kong to collect a sample of Chairman Mao's genetic material. It's tempting she already has Lenin, Indira Ghandi, Teddy Roosevelt and a job lot of ayatollahs in her collection but it's risky, too. Anything her brothers arrange for her to do is likely to be risky. And usually illegal.

Book Review: In War Times by Kathleen Ann Goonan Published by Tor in the US and UK Hardcover, 348 pages May Retail Price: $25.95 ISBN: 0765313553 Review by Carlos A ranaga Kathleen Ann Goonan tells a tale of bebop and the secret history of World War II in this, the sixth in a strong run of novels, In War Times . Science and art are one and the same for Goonan, known for jazz-inflected works, such as her first novel, the New York Times Notable Book Queen City Jazz (1994), and her Arthur C. Clarke Award finalist The Bones of Time The harmonic complexity and wild yet disciplined improvisation of bebop mirror the quantum-based wave form reality of the world of In War Times In War Times follows Sam Dance, a technically adept U.S. Army recruit circa 1941, who after losing his brother at Pearl Harbor, gets swept up in a cross-dimensional story of spy versus spy. Working on cutting edge war efforts like the development of radar, Dance and his buddy Wink spend their free time indulging their love of music, listening to and playing jazz with the incipient proto-stars, in the musical nursery of the genre, Harlem.
