Posthuman Blues

The first volume of Peter Watts' "Behemoth" is out in hardback. If you haven't read "Starfish" and "Maelstrom," you're missing two of the best SF novels in recent memory.

Says Watts: "The rest of this site is a fantasy, albeit not a very pleasant one. This is reality. From here you can look down and watch the lights going out; if you squint, you'll even see the twinkling of firestorms along the west coast. I leave it to you to decide whether the real world is any sort of improvement."
