Nanotechnology:
Molecular Speculations on Global Abundance

"In clear and compelling language, Nanotechnology describes the ideas and techniques that are creating a new domain of science and technology."
-- Edward O. Wilson, Pellegrino University Professor, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University

"There are many things that science and technology have promised the human race, and many of these promises have been kept. Nanotechnology raises the ante, exceeding almost every earlier promise a billion fold. Nanotechnology, Molecular Speculations on Global Abundance gives a clear and nontechnical tour of things we might expect."
-- Vernor Vinge, Associate Professor, Department of Math Sciences, San Diego State University

"I found this to be a very enjoyable and thought-provoking book looking into some of the more audacious directions that nanotechnology might go, with a good balance between straight design analysis, 'what if' musings, and acknowledgement of associated policy problems. It also would be a good introduction for non-U.S. researchers as a cross-section of what is being talked about at present by certain futurists and should spark off quite a few ideas here in Japan."
-- Dr. Tanya C. Sienko, Researcher, National Institute of Science and Technology Policy, Tokyo, Japan.

"BC Crandall's Nanotechnology is both shocking and authoritative - a feast for those who truly enjoy a glimpse of the future!"
-- Greg Bear, author of Blood Music and Queen of Angels
