November Books 10) The Dervish House, by Ian McDonald

[nwhyte]

It's 2027 and Turkey has joined the European Union. In an old tekke in Istanbul, six people find their lives intertwined around a plot involving nanotechnology, the Nabucco gas pipeline, and the arcane secrets of the mellified man. There is a lovely echo between microcalligraphy and encoding information on junk DNA. It's Ian McDonald's best

I loved this book, and almost want to become mellified myself.

Was already rather inclined to buy his other stuff, more so after seeing your reviews thereof.
