From Introduction:
Blood streams teeming with nanites- microscopic machines that repair all wounds, cell by cell. Nervous systems modified to transmit impulses with the speed of a fiber-optics network. Living tissue interwoven with impact resistant polymers, made far stronger and more durable than mere human flesh. These are the characteristics of molmechs; organic beings (usually humans or superhumans) integrated with technology through means both more subtle and more fundamental than crude bionic limb grafts or sensor implants. The term “molmech” stands for molecular-machine, and as the name implies, this manmachine fusion extends all the way down to the molecular level. Sophisticated cybernetic systems control metabolism,, nervous system responses, even the formation of new tissues. Molmechs are also sometimes known as Cy-Breeds, or Techno-Organics.
