BLOOM
by Wil Mccarthy

Psynopsis
Mycora: technogenic life. Fast-reproducing, fast-mutating, and
endlessly voracious. In the year 2106, these microscopic
machine/creatures have escaped their creators to populate the inner
solar system with a wild, deadly ecology all their own, pushing the
tattered remnants of humanity out into the cold and dark of the outer
planets. Even huddled beneath the ice of Jupiter's moons, protected by
a defensive system known as the Immunity, survivors face the constant
risk of mycospores finding their way to the warmth and brightness
inside the habitats, resulting in a calamitous "bloom."

But the human race still has a trick or two up its sleeves; in a ship
specially designed to penetrate the deadly Mycosystem, seven
astronauts are about to embark on mankind's boldest venture yet--the
perilous journey home to infected Earth!

Yet it is in these remote conditions, against a virtually omnipotent
foe, that we discover how human nature plays the greatest role in
humanity's future.
