The novel “/ Slant” by Greg Bear was published for the first time in 1997. It’s the sequel to “Queen of angels”.

Public defender Mary Choy must investigate the death of two prostitutes involved in illegal nano- transformations and the strange case of a billionaire who seems to have committed suicide. These are some of the cases that suddenly are becoming frequent, an abnormality all the more worrying because those who have some mental problem can undergo very sophisticated therapies. Even the psychotherapist Martin Burke suspect that there’s something going on after discovering several cases in which the therapy went into a kind of regression.
