And, to tie this into science fiction, here’s a good starting point for nanotech stories:

  • Blood Music, Queen of Angels and Slant by Greg Bear

  • Prey by Michael Crichton
  • Metaplanetary by Tony Daniel
  • The Nanotech anthology edited by Jack Dann and Gardner Dozois
  • Permutation City and Diaspora by Greg Egan

  • The Nano Flower by Peter F. Hamilton
  • Beggars and Choosers by Nancy Kress
  • The Wellstone and The Collapsium by Wil McCarthy
