Alastair Reynolds Revelation Space novels describe a near future where humanity has achieved a similar level of molecular tech they called `Quickmatter`.
Entire cities are built with it, until a particularly nasty virus which makes no distinction between biological or molecular machines (or even software), becomes an existential problem.

- dekhn 3y agoBTW the latest Reynolds book set in that universe was just released: https://www.amazon.com/Machine-Vendetta-Prefect-Dreyfus-Emergencies-ebook/dp/B0BRJ692Y6 https://www.amazon.com/Machine-Vendetta-Prefect-Dreyfus-Emer... although IMHO nothing will ever beat Chasm City which is based around the alien nanoscale virus.
