Blood Music

This starts out with high-tech nano-biology and kind of degenerates into dreamlike fantasy science. We start with the main character, Vergil Ulam, who develops intelligent human-based cells he calls noocytes and which he injects into himself. Vergil is dispensed with fairly early in the book, and the main thread of the story continues with another character, who gets infected with the noocytes from cantact with Vergil. Then there are some other characters in plot side threads, which serve, I suppose, to explain what's going on in the world as the noocytes wipe out human life in North America and transform the entire landscape.

The book is not bad, not great. I did wake up in the middle of the night from a Blood Music inspired nightmare, but the book itself isn't scary.
