Book Synopsis

Prepare for a different kind of singularity in Peter Watts'' Echopraxia, the follow-up to the Hugo-nominated novel Blindsight.

It''s the eve of the twenty-second century: a world where the dearly departed send postcards back from Heaven and evangelicals make scientific breakthroughs by speaking in tongues; where genetically engineered vampires solve problems intractable to baseline humans and soldiers come with zombie switches that shut off self-awareness during combat. And it''s all under surveillance by an alien presence that refuses to show itself.

Daniel Bruks is a living fossil: a field biologist in a world where biology has turned computational, a cat''s-paw used by terrorists to kill thousands. Taking refuge in the Oregon desert, he''s turned his back on a humanity that shatters into strange new subspecies with every heartbeat. But he awakens one night to find himself at the center of a storm that will turn all of history inside-out.
