Our popular conception of nanotechnology was probably shaped a lot by the fact that Engines of Creation was published at the same time as Blood Music.

- Filligree 7y agoA great book, but not terribly realistic. Once again people try to reason from fictional evidence.
- lachlan-sneff 7y agoNanosystems is much more realistic.
- Filligree 7y agoI was referring to Blood Music, but... yes, you're right. Nanosystems is the technical manual, as it were; Engines of Creation is more of an intuition-builder, and not wholly accurate.
- lachlan-sneff 7y agoAh, sorry. Totally missed the context of your comment.
