The novel “Queen of Angels” by Greg Bear was published for the first time in 1990. In December 2047, on the eve of the new binary millennium – 2047 in binary is 1111111111
and 2048 in binary is 1000000000000 – poet Emmanuel Goldsmith kills a group of kids. The crime is all the more shocking because people of high social class such as him can have mental therapies to eliminate any criminal impulse. Goldsmith, however, disappeared and police detective Mary Choy has to find him as quickly as possible.
