Prepare for a different kind of singularity in Peter Watts' Echopraxia,
the follow-up to the Hugo-nominated novel Blindsight .
It's the eve of the twenty-second century: a world where the dearly
departed send postcards back from Heaven and evangelicals make scientific
breakthroughs by speaking in tongues; where genetically engineered vampires
solve problems intractable to baseline humans and soldiers come with
all under surveillance by an alien presence that refuses to show itself.-
Daniel Bruks is a living fossil: a field biologist in a world where
biology has turned computational, a cat's-paw used by terrorists to
back on a humanity that shatters into strange new subspecies with every
heartbeat. But he awakens one night to find himself at the center of
a storm that will turn all of history inside-out.
To his left is a grief-stricken soldier, obsessed by whispered messages
she's sworn to kill on sight. A vampire and its entourage of zombie
bodyguards lurk in the shadows behind. And dead ahead, a handful of
rapture-stricken monks takes them all to a meeting with something they
will only call "The Angels of the Asteroids."
Their pilgrimage brings Dan Bruks, the fossil man, face-to-face with
the biggest evolutionary breakpoint since the origin of thought itself.-
