It begins the day after next year in California. A maladjusted
computer industry billionaire and a somewhat crazy US president
initiate a radical transformation of the world through sentient
nanotechnology; sort of the equivalent of biological artificial
intelligence. At first they succeed, but their plans are reversed
by Chu, an autistic boy. The next time it isn't so easy to stop
them.
Most of the story takes place in our world after a previously
unimaginable transformation. All things look the same, and all
people feel the same--but they are different (they're able to read
each others' minds, for starters). Travel to and from other nearby
worlds in the quantum universe is possible. And our world is
visited by giant humanoids from another quantum universe, some of
whom mean to tidy up the mess we've made.
Or maybe just run things.
