Nanotechnology: the limits will not be reached anytime soon! Will be exciting to watch things which will come from it. Just for one thing, I believe that it will beat the heck out of traditional production methods one day when it comes to dramatically pushing back the limits for how strong, light-weight, and cheap we can produce things. Not to mention miniaturisation.
(Nonfiction too, by the way. I just bought "Physics of the Future", but the reviews are a little bit mixed.)

ReplyDeleteIt will be the real life version of Star Trek's replicators. It's not overstating it to say it could revolutionize things and lead to Star Trek's (or The Culture's) lack of money and possibly even the need to work, or at least to work at a lot of jobs.
"Engines of Creation: The Coming Era of Nanotechnology" is another good book.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteThough it's not in ebook, and it's 25 years old, wouldn't this make it rather dated in such a progressing area?
It's worth reading even today. The guy wrote with an open mind, no constraints. Today's nanotech writers are far too conservative I think.
ReplyDeleteAll right, thanks.
