The year is 2030. The world has doubled in population, no one can escape the prying eyes of the State, and entrepreneurs race to find alternative fuels to replace scarce and expensive oil. Supercomputers are smaller and cheaper than sugar cubes but they, too, still need energy to run.

John Grant wants to save the Earth from its addiction to oil and get rich in the process. He has patented a revolutionary new molecule that can split water and produce an almost limitless supply of cheap fuel hydrogen. But he cannot do it alone -- and many groups don't want him to do it at all. He cannot trust his Israeli backers. The Americans think Grant is a traitor. And his greatest enemy wants his patent and his mind. For Hamid Tabriz -- Sufi mystic, master terrorist and genius mathematician -- has learned how to encode his mind in a chip and replace a person's brain with it.

The terrorist bombing compels the Saudis to launch a smart missile strike against Israel -- razing the desalination plant that tests Grant's molecule. As Israel prepares its response and its enemies and allies rush into a war already simmering today, Grant finds that he must defend the increasingly chaotic world and do so from a disembodied place for beyond the confines of space and time...in nanotime.

Compelling, suspenseful and meticulously researched, "Nanotime" is a shocking vision of our cyberfuture by one of the visionaries presently shaping it.
