The nanotechnology was designed to fight cancer. Instead, it evolved into the Machine Plague, killing nearly five billion people and changing life on Earth forever. The nanotech has one weakness: it self-destructs at altitudes above ten thousand feet. Those few who've managed to escape the plague struggle to stay alive on the highest mountains, but time is running out-there is famine and war, and the environment is crashing worldwide. Humanity's last hope lies with a top nanotech researcher ... (show more)

I like post-apocalyptical books since I read "Alas Babylon" in high school. So, I found this book fairly enjoyable except for the sexual references early in the book. I didn't find it to be too "dark". Wouldn't rate it as great, but a good read. I recommend Greg Bear's book "Blood Music" for a great book on nanotech - even though it's older, it ended up being somewhat prophetic.
A whole 'nuther take on the post-apocalyptic world genre...this time, it's nanotechnology that is sensitive to atmospheric pressure that is the cuplrit. Interesting characters and plausable technology make this book particularly gripping.
A wonderful, contemporary post-apocalyptic novel about the effects of only mildly completed nano-tech on the human race {hint : it's not good}. I absolutely loved this book.
121 pages in, and i still dont care about any of the characters. this book is astonishingly boring, but im still hoping something interesting might happen. im very close to giving up though.
Pretty well done zombie novel. Nothing particularly new or unique, but fun to waste an hour to read.
Almost done, it's pretty good. It features some local NorCal geography and landmarks too!
This book is great if you are looking for a mediocre nanotechnology book. It is not a page turner and I had trouble caring about the main characters. But it is interesting, if you are busy and don't want to get so sucked into a book that you put everything else aside, but still want something to pass the time this is a good book.
