Jon PENNYCOOK reviewed Bloom by Wil McCarthy
Review of 'Bloom' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I've read this book before in paperback - I bought the eBook this time from ReAnimus Press. Very easy to read.
Humanity left Earth in a hurry when "technogenic life", nicknamed the "mycora" took over, converting all matter on the planet into more mycora and into spores which mostly can't spread beyond Mars because it's too cold. Humanity moved to moons of Jupiter and to the asteroid belt. This book describes an expedition made from Ganymede to the inner Solar System to see what has developed recently. On the way, they have to stop off in the asteroid belt, where they have telescopes that appear to show life still existing on the Earth and on Venus.
