I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I just read the sequel, which wasn't half as good as Darwin's Radio.

“Darwin's Radio” is the first novel I've read from Greg Bear. I am sci-fi fan yet usually those author defined as “hard sci-fi” ones are not my favorites. After reading reviews on this book I decided to give it a try.
Well I was delighted! The only “hard” stuff in the novel is Bear's excellent grip on bioscience (at least for layman as I am). He presents his background “facts” very plausibly, clear and by no means boring.

Finally, there was the book that you needed! The world we live is full of hazards: fires, floods, earthquakes, cars that give burst, trains derailed and collided, sinking ships, planes are crashing. How can you escape from them? Following the advice in this book!

You're welcome to our copy! We have the sequel, too, which I haven't started
yet.

I've added it to my reading list – it can be hard to find good sci fi sometimes, so I'm glad to hear you liked this one. I've been reading a lot of Robert J. Sawyer lately which I like, but I desperately want to edit his books as I go. Interesting plot lines but kind of clunky writing (seems to be a theme among Hugo award winners weirdly).
