One mysterious cube. One ordinary man. And a discovery that could change humanity forever. In 1959, amateur archaeologist Arnie Gibson explores the rugged landscape of Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, when he discovers something unlike any artifact he has ever seen-a strange black cube covered in unfamiliar markings.Arnie takes the cube home, determined to uncover its origins. But when he finally discovers how to open it, all he finds inside is a quantity of fine, dark dust. Or so he thinks. Soon Arnie begins to change. His mind works faster. His memory sharpens. His body becomes stronger and healthier. Then come the dreams-astonishing visions of distant worlds, prehistoric Earth, and an enormous spacecraft scattering mysterious cubes across the galaxy. And finally, there is Buster. The friendly, white-haired figure who appears in Arnie's dreams claims the dust contained millions of microscopic machines-alien nanotechnology created to improve intelligent life. The nanos are already inside Arnie, and their plans extend far beyond one man in New Mexico. But as Arnie discovers just how deeply the nanos can influence his body and mind, an unsettling question begins to grow.
