Plague Year by Jeff Carlson

I Am is a lovely photography book on eccentrics with pictures of them and then a piece of writing from them reproduced in full, explaining about their lives. Beautifully presented its a lovely book (although quite difficult to read some of the handwriting) and is a real glimpse into those who live outside what we consider to be normal (the Luddite, the vampire, the leopard man).

Plague Year was a very exciting read about a nanotechnology plague that takes over the world and decimates the population by damaging internal tissues until death is the natural result. It deactivates itself at high altitude so all the survivors are living above the snow line and desperately searching for a cure. It was a leetle heavy on nanotech talk which I didnt quite follow and I was quite sleepy (two glasses of wine and a heavy cheese fondue) for the final denouement so I couldnt quite figure out who was doing what to who and why. However I put the book down longing to know what happened to the characters and how they got on, so thats a big thumbs up for me.

Only have Them and City of Night to go, both are at less than 100 pages before the end.
