Chinese Summary/中文概要： 21世纪.
欧洲分为第一世界的资产阶级和第四世界的难民以及因战争和经济动荡而流离失所的无家可归者。第一世界的资产阶级靠纳米技术和廉价的全能的基因工程娃娃奴隶劳动力致富。在伦敦，亚历克斯·夏基试图成为一名精神活性病毒的设计师，同时要比警察和三合会团伙领先一步。他牺牲了三个小时的生命，找到了一个不太可能的盟友——一个可怕的、超级聪明的小女孩，名叫米莱娜。但他的麻烦真正开始时，他帮助米莱娜加快了玩偶的智力，把它变成了第一个仙女。
米莱娜不确定自己是疯了，还是世界上只剩下她一个理智的人;她只知道，她想逃到自己的私人仙境，长生不老。尽管米莱娜为了自己的目的创造了仙女们，但一些像传说中一样古怪和危险的民间人士对她的命运有不同的看法……
Awards/获奖情况：Having already made the final shortlist for the Arthur C. Clarke Award with his SF novels Eternal Light and Pasquale’s Angel, Paul McAuley finally won this coveted prize with Fairyland. The title’s hint of fey fantasy is blackly ironic: this is a streetwise cyberpunk future, replete with gene-hacking, instant designer drugs, and mind-warping viruses that function as "love bugs" or "loyalty plagues". One spinoff of genetic tailoring is a slave race of blue-fleshed "dolls", modified baboons made bright enough to do society’s dirty jobs--until they’re liberated by the unholy alliance of an idealistic child prodigy and a biologically savvy nerd, boosting them to thinking, evolving, breeding "fairies". And indeed the night becomes full of unwholesome magic and fanged terrors again, as this new race steps into the old mythological niche of the dark elves, attacking venomously from the trees and setting up their private fairyland in the decayed remains of a certain Magic Kingdom outside Paris... Though occasionally obscure and not quite plausible in all its plot details, Fairyland is a creepily effective nightmare of a world becoming increasingly chaotic under the stress of runaway biotechnologies, excessively deadly toys in the hands of people with no more common sense than children. Vivid and viscerally compelling. --David Langford --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
