This a general theme of my unfinished NaNoWriMo project I may resume working on next month.

Um, may want to look into Blood Music by Greg Bear. Biotechnology, nanotechnology and how it impacts one man. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 14, 14:46
You could try the 'Forever War'. Dune books are big on evolution too. -- nm - DaMENACE Oct 14, 14:41 2
- Oh! The Orson Scott Card 'Shadow' series deals with the that. - DaMENACE Oct 14, 14:43 1

- but aren't viruses devolved bacteria? -- nm - crash davis Oct 14, 14:35 1
  - "De"volved implies direction where there isn't one. - Reagen Oct 14, 14:38
- Well, I *am* looking for fiction here... - Vermintown Oct 14, 14:35 4
  - for Dan Brown audiences? No, nothing is too implausible for them. -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 14:39
  - I'd drop Dan Brown and go with Michael Crichton -- nm - crash davis Oct 14, 14:36 1
    - Yeah, my inspiration was what I *thought* Next was going to be about. - Vermintown Oct 14, 14:41
  - I was about to suggest something along similar lines, but didn't have a book to refer to that has used such. -- nm - znufrii Oct 14, 14:35
- The Next Generation totally proved it. -- nm - Max Oct 14, 14:32
Any Star Trek ep with Q. -- nm - Trish Oct 14, 14:24 3
