Deleted line(s) 59 (click to see context) :
* ThePowerOfRock: In ''Songs of Earth and Power'', any sufficiently great piece of music (or art in general) has inherent magical properties. In particular, there's a piece called the ''Infinity Concerto'' which legendarily transported a group of people to another world; later in the book, Mozart ([[BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy yes, the real one]]) improvises another piece to transport them all back.

Greg Bear is an American author of SpeculativeFiction. He is the son-in-law of SF writer Creator/PoulAnderson, and, like his father-in-law, he is best known for his hard science fiction, although he has also written {{Fantasy}} novels.
He most well-known work is the classic SF novel ''Literature/BloodMusic'', a ground-breaking story about nanotechnology, but his recent series, ''Literature/TheForerunnerSaga'', based on the ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' video game series has opened up a new audience for him. He was one of the authors who contributed to Creator/BruceSterling's ''Mirrorshades: The Cyberpunk Anthology'', which was one of the defining works of {{Cyberpunk}}, but has not been particularly associated with cyberpunk beyond that. In fact, he is often mentioned as one of "the Killer B's", a group of writers that also includes Creator/DavidBrin and Creator/GregoryBenford, who are sometimes credited with revitalizing hard science fiction after the rise of cyberpunk. The Killer B's each wrote one volume of a prequel trilogy to Creator/IsaacAsimov's ''Literature/FoundationSeries''.

Deleted line(s) 60 (click to see context) :
* RealityWarper: Bear frequently explores the idea that the observer in fact shapes the observed reality. For example, towards the end of ''Literature/BloodMusic'' the entirety of North America is covered by a biological mass where each cell acts as an individual observer. The sheer concentration of this threatens to cause reality to break apart.
