Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Bohr Maker by Linda Nagata The Bohr Maker. The Bohr Maker is a science fiction novel by the writer Linda Nagata. This is the first book that I have read by Linda Nagata and I'm not quite sure what I feel about it. The basis for the book is interesting enough - it takes place in a world where nanomachines, bio-engineering and neuralcomputer interfaces are highly developed and in widespread use. This makes the world of Nagatas Bohr Maker very strange - a lot stranger than the world of Nivens Ringworld, even though we never leave the solar system and never meet a life form of non-human descendance. This takes some getting used to (I think that people who have read William Gibson, will have an easier time with this), but I have already bought Tech Heaven by Nagata and I think that I will enjoy this book more that I did Bohr Maker, as I've already gotten a feel for her universe and writing style. The book is about the ultimate nanomachine (called The Bohr Maker), a nanomachine with the power to transform both humans and their environment into anything the humans want. The plot is mostly about the fight for this nanomachine - our main character (Nikko) needs the Bohr Maker to survive and will do anything to get it. Nagata takes us through a very interesting world and shows us a lot of the things that nanotechnology can give us and along the way spins a tale that is both fascinating and interesting. It's a book that makes one ask one self what it is to be human and if it really matters. This book is the first Linda Nagata book I've read. I'm pretty happy with it. It's as if someone took SNOWCRASH, chopped it down to bite size and stuffed it full of a different garbage dump Earth. I really enjoyed the whole bit with the different virus/makers that would reprogram dna and brains into something else. Some evicted tenants who were mutating into solid gold buddahs. Genius writing. The main character who accidently gets the Bohr Maker program stuck in her is excellent in personality as a poor messed up ex prostitute kid Phousita eating s***** collected out of the main sewer/river going thru town. She is transformed and goes from another penny blowing down the street to miss grid universe god. The hard ass cop Kirsten is nasty nasty and epitomizes old thinking like a Falwell type in a tough woman cop body with all the restricted brain areas torching poverty everywhere it is challenged. This book is so well thought out I have to recommend it to everyone. Please read it. NOW. It's hard to believe it's her first novel, she's been doing short stories for a while now. About time`!! The Bohr Maker by Linda Nagata. Linda Nagata The Bohr Maker (1995) Reviewed: 1999-03-20. Welcome to an unpleasantly plausible version of the nanotech future. They are called Makers. Nanotech devices of incredible capabilities. The only limit is the law. On Earth there are many independent states, but all of them bow to the Commonwealth, if not officially then in practice. The raison d'être of the Commonwealth is to limit the development of technology. Nanotech is fine, as long as it is licensed, regulated, limited. Progress, yes, but without change that could overwhelm the fossilized ways of the world. The human form must not be altered, no smart artificial intelligence is allowed. Enforcement is absolute, swift, and often lethal. Few are the legal bounds to the powers of the Commonwealth police. The world is a haunted place, but there is nothing metaphysical about these ghosts. People can make a copy of their mind that can roam the networked world as an autonomous agent and later return to the main person to have its memories reintegrated. Ghosts can also be downloaded into clone bodies elsewhere in the solar system or be entertained in the atrium of other people's minds. Nikko is a citizen of the Summer House, a corporation headquartered on a living space habitat, whose scientists always work at the brink of the illegal and sometimes a little bit beyond. Nikko has been engineered for a life in space, he can exist in the airlessness and cold of the void. He was an experiment, and now the Commonwealth license that has granted him the right to exist is running out. The degenerative disease he was purposely created with will kill him in short time. Leander Bohr was a rebel. He created the Maker that bears his name. A device of awesome power, a full artificial intelligence, without drive or goal of its own, combined with universal nanotechnical assembling facilities. The Bohr Maker is old, but legal technology cannot surpass it due to the limits set by the Commonwealth. The personal empowerment given to its bearer is incredible. The outlaw device might be the last chance for Nikko's survival but when it is stolen from the police files, the Maker ends up with Phousita, an illiterate prostitute in the slums of Sunda, transforming her life and that of her surroundings. A ruthless manhunt is set in motion to recpature the Bohr Maker which has the power to literally remake the world. Nikko and the Summer House, Phousita and her friends, they all are drawn into the struggle about the shape of humanity's future. Linda Nagata's first novel holds much promise. The Bohr Maker is an intriguing book, although it suffers from various flaws, chiefly the lack of likable characters but also some unresolved plot threads. Some of the science is questionable: simple bandwidth limitations are in the way of implementing ghosts as portrayed, and (an admittely very minor point) Nikko's respiratory organ is described as a perpetuum mobile. I also thought the choice of title unfortunate, expecting Niels Bohr to be the namesake of the miraculous device. At this time we simply can't predict what the nanotech future is going to look like. Nagata's depiction will in all likelihood be off the mark, but she rather well conveys the sense of magic in store for us. As a vista of the future, The Bohr Maker feels uncomfortably close to home. Not in the particular technical details, but rather in the spirit of the Commonwealth. The conservative forces in society, who prefer ongoing suffering over a promising future that would entail changes they can't understand, that would force them to adapt, that might curtail their personal power. Of course this resistance must prove futile in the end, but much agony will have to be endured on the long and harsh way to true progress. The Bohr Maker by Linda Nagata.
