The alchemists never succeeded in making gold, but Du Font's button-down chemists are doing something nearly as good. By rearranging the molecules of thin air, plain water, grimy coal and crude oil, they are not only transforming and enriching the fabric of daily life but laying the foundations for new industries.

Soon an insidious clacking sound echoes through the surrounding hills. It is the primitive, awful din of short-stabbing spears hammered against rawhide shields. Now the threat becomes palpable. Across the horizon stretches a line of warriors clad in animal skins and necklaces of baboon teeth...
