The Nanotech Chronicles by Michael Flynn

mburnamfink's review

4.0

I read this book because a couple of scholars wrote about using it to teach an engineering ethics course on nanotech. From that angle, it's pretty good, presenting multiple views of a radically transformative technology from the lab to the street. It lacks the arc light brilliance of The Diamond Age, tends toward expositors rather than fully-fleshed characters, but it does fairly present many positions on emerging tech, although it is ultimately biased towards technolibertarianism against a kind of Green Theology.
