Tech-Heaven is the story of the development of medical nanotechnology in the near future, told through one woman's story of saving her husband through cyrogenics and nanotech. There's a lot of political upheaval and culture change along the way, and plenty of conflict at both the personal and society level. The author has built an interesting world, though the speed of change is extremely optimistic, going from no nanotech treatments to full aging reversal in 30 years. That's a minor quibble, though. I found it an enjoyable read, with both thought-provoking high-level concepts and well-written characterization and action to keep it interesting.
