Anton Hur's novel begins in the not-too-distant future and starts with a moment of crisis: a patient at a nanotherapy research clinic seems to have vanished into thin air. This patient had been receiving a new type of treatment that uses android cells (referred to as “nanites”) to cure cancer by replacing the body's own cells. In doing so, however, it transforms the body entirely into a nanodroid, giving rise to “nano humans” who are no longer subject to mortality.
The story jumps through time and different perspectives, exploring what it means to be “human in a world where technology is rapidly catching up with biology.” From the moment I started reading this book, I didn’t want to put it down.

“I think of my book as a home repair manual for the planet,” Jackson said in a recent interview published by the scientific journal ACS Science Center“It highlights the people and ideas needed to solve the climate crisis. What I want most is to give people hope, a sense of optimism. Yes, climate change is already bad, but we can still fix this problem.”
