The Last Sword Maker is a terrific techno-thriller that will keep you thinking long after the last page. With today’s ever increasing dependency on technology to keep us safe Brian Nelson asks the question what happens when nanotechnology becomes independent of man? The Last Sword Maker gives us a scary possible scenario that will keep you flipping pages and up long past your bedtime.

i really really really enjoyed, fun way to think about the next 15 years but never a big fan of weird jingoistic sino-phlagia-whatever

Had its issues (political reductionism, female character development) but really enjoyed the read
