About this title: A plague of human-created, atom-sized machines, known as Mycora, has ravaged the Earth, driving the remnants of humankind further into space, where the temperature and lack of light make it hard for the machines to self-replicate. Several years later, an expedition is mounted to return to Earth to see how far the machines have evolved, and journalist John Stasheim is selected to go along for the ride. A "New York Times" Notable Book for 1998.
