About This Item
Penguin Books, 1996. SOFTCOVER . (Orig. paperback. Nice Ex-libris stamp on title page. VERY GOOD) The future is nano ... And who could be smaller or more insignificant than poor Little Nell - an orphan girl alone and adrift in a world of Confucian Law, Neo-Victorian values and warring nano-technology? Well, not quite alone. Because Nell has a friend, of sorts. A guide, a teacher, an armed and unarmed combat instructor, a book and a computer.
