Book Reviews of Engines of Creation: The Coming Era of Nanotechnology
Book Review: 100,000 ft. overview of a technology that does not yet exist
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoyed the speculative nature of EOC. Too often we bumble into new technologies and only later in the process do we realize what capabilities it may bring. EOC attempts (fairly successfully) to bring a range of future possibilities to our collective consciousness. This book is best followed up by Drexler's and Crandall and Lewis' more technically oriented books on molecular nanotechnology.
