Cult author Neal Stephenson's unstoppable sci-fi classic
The future is small. 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: the Young Lady's Illustrated Primer is all these and much much more. It is illicit, magical, dangerous.

Neal Stephenson is the author of the three-volume historical epic 'The Baroque Cycle' (Quicksilver , The Confusion and The System of the World) as well as the novels...
