Zhefeng Zhang _ — This is my first Ian McDonald book and if any of his others are like this I will be a big fan. This is the best book I've read this year. The actions of the inhabitants and acquaintances of an old dervish house in an old neighborhood in the Queen of Cities, Istanbul, are intertwined in an intricate plot set in motion by a suicide bomber on a crowded tram. Set in the near future, 15 years or so and a world not so far removed from our own, nanotechnology is the big technological leap forward and the central theme of the story. The cast of characters includes a troubled young man who witnessed the bombing and now sees djinn, an religious art dealer on the hunt for a legendary Mellified Man, her husband, a gas commodities trader planning the big score, a young lady that is asked by her family to help market a start-up nanotech company, an old retired Greek economics professor and a very young boy that he has taken to mentoring that has Long QT Syndrome and experiences the world mainly through his roving robot. McDonald captures the sights, sounds, and culture of Istanbul in beautiful prose; a city at a crossroad where the east and the west, the past and the future, the religious and the secular, the large and the small meet and merge to create a unique environment. Each person's story is a thread that is woven into the intricate tapestry of plot and the writing transports your imagination into that strange and exciting place and catches you up in their lives. This book is like a jigsaw puzzle where each piece is unique in its self creating a larger picture showing, as the author says “...the infinitesimally small and the inconceivably vast at the same time, in the same vision”.
