Bear often addresses major questions in contemporary science and culture with fictional solutions. For example, "
One of Bear's favorite themes is reality as a function of observers. In "Blood Music" reality becomes unstable as the number of observers — trillions of intelligent single-cell organisms — spirals higher and higher. Both "Anvil of Stars" — a sequel to "The Forge of God" — and "Moving Mars" postulate a physics based on information exchange between particles, capable of being altered at the "bit level". (Bear has credited the inspiration for this idea to Frederick Kantor's 1967 treatise, "Information Mechanics.") In "Moving Mars" this knowledge is used to remove Mars from the solar system and transfer it to an orbit around a distant star.
"Blood Music" (first published as a short story in 1983, and expanded to a novel in 1985) has also been credited as being the first account of nanotechnology in science fiction. More certainly, the short story is the first in science fiction to describe microscopic medical machines, and to treat DNA as a computational system, capable of being reprogrammed--that is, expanded and modified. In later works, beginning with "Queen of Angels" and continuing with its sequel, "Slant", Bear gives a detailed description of a near-future nanotechnological society. This historical sequence continues with "Heads" — which may contain the first description of a so-called "quantum logic computer" — and with "Moving Mars". This sequence also charts the historical development of self-awareness in AIs, with its continuing character, Jill, inspired in part by
