From Little Stack
Prey takes the story in a different direction: it’s not a single sentient machine, rather a sentient swarm of nanoparticles and nanorobots that collectively gain intelligence and power by virtue of sheer numbers. The animal behaviors (ant colonies, bird flocks, and bee hives) that inspire its control algorithm makes it ultimately an unstoppable force that constantly learns, grows, adapts, and evolves. And when the swarm sets its sights on humans, woe to those who it determines must be hunted.
A terrifying page–turner in classic Crichton tradition, masterfully combining the elements of a heart–pounding thriller with cutting–edge technology. The result is a tale so realistic, so scary, you won’t be able to put it down.
Deep in the Nevada desert, the Xymos Corporation has built a state-of-the-art fabrication plant, surrounded by miles and miles of nothing but cactus and coyotes. Eight people are trapped. A self-replicating swarm of predatory molecules is rapidly evolving outside the plant. Massed together, the molecules form an intelligent organism that is anything but benign. More powerful by the hour, it has targeted the eight scientists as prey. They must stop the swarm before it is too late…
In Prey, Michael Crichton combines scientific brilliance with relentless pacing to create an electrifying, chilling techno-thriller.
