Queen City Jazz "A dizzying novel that takes full advantage of the creative potential of nanotech." --The New York Times In Verity's world, nanotech plagues decimated the population after an initial renaissance of utopian nanotech cities. Growing up on an isolated farm, she finds her happy life changing course when Blaze, the only young man in the community and Verity's best friend, is shot. With Blaze's body wrapped in a nanotech cocoon, Verity sets off on a quest to the Enlivened City of Cincinnati. It is a place of legend, where huge bio-engineered bees carry information through the streets and enormous nanotech flowers burst from the tops of strange buildings. It is the place where Blaze might be brought back from the brink of death. But Cincinnati is a city of dreams turned into nightmares, endlessly reliving the fantasies of its creator, a city that Verity must rule--or die.

L'Amérique est dévastée, ses populations décimées. L'informatique n'est plus qu'un souvenir et la radio s'est irrémédiablement tue. Désormais en ruines, les Cités utopiques, basées sur une nanotechnologie omniprésente, s'atrophient et s'isolent. Cincinnati, ville enjôleuse, aussi maléfique que merveilleuse... Cincinnati, Cité Vitalisée, où la communication s'effectue par voie biologique, sur le modèle de la pollinisation. Vérity s'y rend pour trouver de l'aide. Car sa vie a basculé lorsqu'une peste nanotechnologique a contaminé certains membres de sa paisible communauté... Le parcours initiatique d'une jeune héroïne dans un univers unique, terrifiant mais viscéralement attirant. Une vision bouleversante et radicalement nouvelle de la science-fiction.

Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Bayreuth, language: English, abstract: Understanding gender as a performative act defining womanliness and manliness, this paper analyses why women are always linked with nanotechnology education in science fiction as a traditionally masculine genre. By concentrating mainly on the novels "Queen City Jazz" and "Diamond Age" its focus lies not only on the way in which the female pupils are educated, but also on how womanliness is defined and connected with nanotechnology.

Plants have played key roles in science fiction novels, graphic novels and film. John Wyndham’s triffids, Algernon Blackwood’s willows and Han Kang’s sprouting woman are just a few examples. Plants surround us, sustain us, pique our imaginations and inhabit our metaphors – but in many ways they remain opaque. The scope of their alienation is as broad as their biodiversity. And yet, literary reflections of plant-life are driven, as are many threads of science fictional inquiry, by the concerns of today. Plants in Science Fiction is the first-ever collected volume on plants in science fiction, and its original essays argue that plant-life in SF is transforming our attitudes toward morality, politics, economics and cultural life at large – questioning and shifting our understandings of institutions, nations, borders and boundaries; erecting and dismantling new visions of utopian and dystopian futures.

This book addresses questions surrounding the feasibility of a global approach to ethical governance of science and technology. The emergence and rapid spread of nanotechnology offers a test case for how the world might act when confronted with a technology that could transform the global economy and provide solutions to issues such as pollution, while potentially creating new environmental and health risks. The author compares ethical issues identified by stakeholders in China and the EU about the rapid introduction of this potentially transformative technology – a fitting framework for an exploration of global agency. The study explores the discourse ethics and participatory Technology Assessment (pTA) inspired by the work of Jürgen Habermas to argue that different views can be universally recognized and agreed upon, perhaps within an ideal global community of communication. The book offers a developed discourse model, utilizing virtue ethics as well as the work of Taylor, Beck, Korsgaard and others on identity formation, as a way forward in the context of global ethics. The author seeks to develop new vocabularies of comparison, to discover shared aspects of identity and to achieve, hopefully, an ‘intercultural personhood’ that may lead to a global ethics. The book offers a useful guide for researchers on methods for advancing societal understanding of science and technology. The author addresses a broad audience, from philosophers, ethicists and scientists, to the interested general reader. For the layperson, one chapter surveys nanoissues as depicted in fiction and another offers a view of how an ordinary citizen can act as a global agent of change in ethics.
