You may also look at vegetarianism in a whole new light. It's a really interesting device and I enjoyed the way it was woven in throughout the story.
He weaves in references to several world religions and ties them in to his mythos, showing how the original truth was "twisted" over the years to conform to what would best serve those in power. Greg Bear weaves throughout this story a fascinating new mythos about the creation and evolution, de-evolution and re-evolution of man and the universe that I found to be quite astonishing in its depth and breadth. Hopefully the bits of plot I outlined above don't spoil the book for anyone - I could hardly outline less without being so vague about the basic plot of the book as to be basically providing you with a meaningless synopsis however, there is so much more to this book than the above. Once the decision is made to start looking for these materials, Michael begins to fall under various attacks to stop him from completing these tasks. And they then plan play the two pieces together. She wants to discover and perform it and she has a friend who, with the help of letters and papers they hope to discover in Waltiri's estate, hopes to finish Mahler's unfinished Symphony. If that isn't enough, he is contacted by a musical faculty member from UCLA named Kristine Pendeers who is looking for the Infinity Concerto - Opus 45. Other news stories speak of "hauntings" around the world - Michael suspects that the Sidhe are coming to Earth.
Michael's desires for normality are shattered, however, when he reads a news story about strange bodies discovered in a nearby hotel - one grossly obese, one strangely mummified and in a party dress. Waltiri has also left his house to Michael and eventually Michael moves in and begins to go through the papers. Arno Waltiri has left his estate and the disposition of his papers and recordings to Michael. Michael Perrin is back home, living with his parents and continuing his training. The Serpent Mage" - book two - picks up shortly after Infinity Concerto leaves off.
