Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Dramatically effective and a milestone in science fiction about nanotech and fine-grained distributed systems." - Vernor Vinge "A fast-moving, entertaining, and intriguing novel." --L. E. Modesitt, Jr. "The glowing, intricate plot arises organically from [the] stunningly inventive backdrop. . . . Delightful and engaging, both intellectually and viscerally: a superb achievement." -"Kirkus "(starred review)

Reseña del editor:

After terrifying and titanic struggles, a godlike artificial intelligence gone rogue has finally been destroyed. But not before it scattered seeds of itself throughout the galaxy. On the terraformed planet Ventus, benign AIs -- the godlike Winds - which shaped and guarded its transformation, have fallen silent. Calandria May is sent down to the surface where she quickly finds that an extension of the rogue AI, a cyborg called Armiger, has planted a strange and powerful device in a young man named Jordan Mason. Jordan has visions. He is desperate to find their meaning and source -- desperate enough to risk awakening the Winds, perhaps invoking the power that can destroy technology to protect the environment they created. Ventus is an epic journey across a fascinating planet with two big mysteries -- why have the Winds fallen silent? And is Armiger, or Jordan, carrying a Resurrection Seed?
