About The Diamond Age
The future is small. The future is nano... And who could be smaller or more insignificant than poor Little Nell - a neglected young girl adrift in a world of Confucian Law, Neo-Victorian values and warring nano-technology? Well, not quite alone. Because Nell has a friend, of sorts. A guide, a teacher, an armed and unarmed combat instructor, a book and a computer.
