Críticas
‘An unforgettable vision of America tranfigured by a new and utterly apocalyptic technology. Greg Bear’s Blood Music is perhaps the only other novel to have dealt so unflinchingly with the paradigm-shattering possibilities of a functioning nanotech. If a science fiction writer’s job is to conceive the inconceivable, Goonan has arrived with an immaculate version of the traditional tool kit – and the nerve to use it hard’
William Gibson
‘A dizzying novel that takes full advantage of the creative potential of nanotech... For Ms Goonan, the freedom to remake the world in one’s own image poses a terrible temptation [but] she grounds her apocalyptic vision in a few short, detailed scenes that reveal how personal failings can become writ large in the great events of history’
New York Times
‘Spectacular... Goonan moves far beyond Bear’s horror-story scenario and shows that the possibilities of this theme are at least as powerful as those of SF’s more popular current preoccupation, virtual reality. A first novel of startling virtuosity and complexity’
Locus
‘Goonan’s achievement in this book is impressive... It is certain that no reader will ever regret accompanying Verity on her fascinating journey of self-discovery, nor forget it’

Reseña del editor
Quality, cutting-edge science fiction ablaze with new technologies and a vision of their impact on us. Queen City Jazz delivers a powerful, moving story and a state-of-the-art answer to the traditional science-fiction question ‘what is reality’?
Kathleen Ann Goonan’s debut book is a big, rich, hard sf novel of nanotechnology comparable to Greg Bear’s classic Blood Music. The heroine’s quest to save her friend’s life in the Enlivened City (Cincinatti) is transformed by the City itself into a fabulous story of discovery and revelation.

With Blaze's body wrapped in a nanotech cocoon, Verity sets off on a quest to the Enlivened City of Cincinnati.
