A Novel and Challenging Read
I am an avid reader, but I have never ventured into the science-fiction genre. G. Mitchell Baker’s ANNT is a stimulating introduction to this rich and fascinating literature.
Arguing the limits of Mother Nature, doctors Doceo and Gens grow ants to human scale to address difficult and intractable societal problems. They developed “Adaptable Neo-Nature Technology” (ANNT) to respond to panoply of human calamities ranging from rescuing people from burning buildings to foiling terrorist attacks. Baker credibly weaves his narrative from a strong grounding in engineering, quantum computing, genetics, bio-molecular physics, and bio-medical printing. While this novels explore the interactivity of science, technology, and nature, my interest was sparked by Baker’s examination of relevant moral, ethical, and economic issues.
Discussing the etiology of their choice of ants as a useful vehicle, Doceo and Gens describe the nature of social interaction in typical ant colonies. This led to commentary on the comparative efficacy of capitalist and communist economic systems. While governments maintain a keen interest in utilizing and controlling the fruits of the applied scientific thought, scientists often wish to ensure professional independence. Using the platform of “Senate Intelligence Hearings,” Baker skillfully demonstrates the tension between these adversarial perspectives. When presenting her findings to the “Doctoral Candidate Review Committee,” Dr. Doceo misrepresents some of her findings. Dr. Gens was the only person privy to Dr. Doceo’s devious behavior. Baker uses this scenario to explore the relationship, gender, and power issues in the scientific community.
G Mitchell Baker’s prose is clear, imaginative, and creative. His descriptions of scientific and technology are intricate and intriguing. I especially enjoyed his examination of concomitant economic, governmental, and interpersonal systems.
Author's Note:
Author's Note: Mr. Nightingale purchased 'ANNT' from a local Independent bookstore. He is a self-described 'less than technological fellow' who -incredibly- still uses a rotary dial phone. Mr. Nightingale read this Bio-Social Science Fiction novel written for both Young Adult and Adult readers. He then surprised me when he handed me the above typed Book Review.
Mr. Nightingales effort to review ANNT is very appreciated by this author. This review demonstrates how this multi-volume project can introduce and connect readers of all ilk with modern science, technology and social issues in an entertaining format. Cheers and Thank You Mr. Nightingale. Sincerely, G. Mitchell Baker 9-2015
