Radix is a science fiction novel by A. A. Attanasio, published in 1981. It was nominated for the 1981 Nebula Award for Best Novel.

Synopsis

Here is one of the most powerful novels of the future ever written. Brilliantly realized, richly detailed and convincingly imagined, it is the awe-inspiring story of a young man's odyssey of self-discovery, from dangerous adolescent to warrior, from outcast to near-godhood, in a far-future Earth dramatically changed from the one we know.

Radix is an epic of the highest order, at once an incandescently exciting novel of conflict and adventure and a supreme experience of transcendent vision.
