In 2007 the Center for Automation in Nanobiotech (CAN) outlined the hardware and software
platforms that would one day allow robots smaller than human cells to make medical diagnoses
conduct repairs and even self-propagate. In the same year the CBS network re-aired a program
about the effects of propranolol on sufferers of extreme trauma. A simple pill it had been
discovered could wipe out the memory of any traumatic event. At almost the same moment in
humanity's broad history mankind discovered the means for bringing about its utter downfall.
And the ability to forget it ever happened. This is the second volume in the New York Times
best-selling Wool series.
