Summary
«Blood Music» is a science fiction novel that tells the story of Vergil Ulam, a biologist working at a biotechnology company. He develops microscopic living cells called «noocytes» that have the ability to self-improve and evolve. When his project is shut down, Vergil injects the noocytes into his own body to save them. These cells begin to evolve and spread, transforming Vergil's body into a superintelligent entity. Gradually, the noocytes spiral out of control, infecting others and altering them on a molecular level. This leads to global changes that threaten the existence of humanity. The novel explores themes of evolution, consciousness, and the responsibility scientists bear for their discoveries.
