would not have happened but for the patent system, and make the research usable (albeit at a higher cost) after they’ve been acquired by a licensing firm, they might still be beneficial on balance. If, on the other hand, the secondary market encourages patenting for its own sake, of developments that would have occurred for business reasons even without patent promises, then patents seem just to impose transaction costs on ordinary business activities. I’d like to get a better handle on which of these scenarios plays out more often. Welcome to Boulder! I’m excited about how
so well-drawn that I fell in love with at least one of them (no fair telling!). In fact, at the last page I suffered post-novel depression; I yearned to spend more time with these people I'd come to know so well. In sum: I was totally along for Stephens' literary ride -- so invested that parts of the story touched me to tears.

crimes. When the Constable shows up with an arrest warrant, Ryan flees Texas and lands in California’s wine country determined to reclaim his life and son. After being laid off, Foster Reed goes to Evangelical Word University and discovers the loophole in quantum physics that he believes God used to create the universe. Funded by a military contractor, Foster builds a power generator that will link science and spirituality, proving the existence of God and the soul – if it works. Dodge Nutter, conman, attorney and landlord of a Victorian mansion turned apartment complex, takes a percentage
of Ryan’s patents in lieu of rent and devises a scheme to screw Foster out of some serious cash – the cash Ryan needs to see his son again. But convincing Ryan to betray his friend is harder than Dodge expects so he throws his sister, Emmy, into the fray and lets nature take its course. Emmy Nutter, a passionate University of California physics professor (based on Emmy Nöther, the German Jew contemporary of Einstein), leads the scientific establishment in exposing Foster’s bogus science, but first she must teach Ryan enough physics for him to understand how the God Patent violates the laws
