Books about Nanotech from Amazon.com

The first transhuman has already been born.Present day and life as we know it has just taken a quick left turn. Evolution is operating in ways no one could have imagined and environmental damage may be the catalyst.In some of the remote and unnoticed places of the world, small pockets of death begin occurring. As the isolated extinctions spread, the world's eyes focus on this terrible mystery. The symptoms contradict each other. Has some dangerous technology escaped into the wild or has natural selection's machinery begun to betray us?As humanity is distracted by growing chaos, out of the ecological imbalance something new and extraordinary is evolving to fill the voids left by these extinctions. Once discovered, this knowledge changes everything.The brightest, most dedicated people on the planet are soon all working independently to understand and defend humanity from what is developing. Some of these people may carry a transhuman mutation and not suspect it except in the darkest moments of self-doubt. If true, they are connected to these extinctions; and buried in their subconscious could be the keys to a terrible paradise or salvation.What is Immortality?.... Immortality blends unforgettable characters with the cutting-edge sciences of genetics and nanotech to serve up a fast paced extraordinary tale. The novel is a techno-thriller hidden within a mystery, wrapped inside an epic journey..

The nanotechnology was designed to fight cancer. Instead, it evolved into the Machine Plague, killing nearly five billion people and changing life on Earth forever.

The nanotech has one weakness: it self-destructs at altitudes above ten thousand feet. Those few who've managed to escape the plague struggle to stay alive on the highest mountains, but time is running out-there is famine and war, and the environment is crashing worldwide. Humanity's last hope lies with a top nanotech researcher aboard the International Space Station-and with a small group of survivors in California who risk a daring journey below the death line....

Throughout human history, mankind has turned its goals and dreams toward exploration With wagon trains, ships, satellites and starships, humanity has chosen to seek out the new frontier, to explore new worlds, and to go where no human has gone before-even to the furthest reaches of the Delta Quadrant. There, Captain Janeway and the crew of the Starship Voyager have discovered many strange and wondrous civilizations...but few as alien as the Chiar.

An advanced and scientific people who have made great strides with nanotechnology, the Chiar expanded internally rather than externally. Every inch of their planet is crawling with the tiniest bits and pieces of artificial intelligence imaginable, working in concert as the new lifeblood of this mechanical world. The people themselves are inseparable from their nanites, which layer their skin and provide extra limbs or senses as required.

Caught up in a bitter civil conflict, some Chiar will try to take advantage of their meeting with the crew of Starship Voyager. They imagine that their homegrown nanites can harness the incredible power of the deadly Borg, and instead set in motion an experiment that goes devastatingly out of control..

Hype, hope, or horror? A vivid look at nanotechnology, written by an insider and experienced science writer.

The variety of new products and technologies that will spin out of nanoscience is limited only by the imagination of the scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs drawn to this new field. Steve Edwards concentrates on the reader's self interest: no military gadgets, wild fantasies of horror nanobot predators and other sci-fi stuff, but presents a realistic view of how this new field of technology will affect people in the near future. He is in close contact with many pioneers in nanotechnology, and includes their backgrounds to allow readers, especially college students considering a career in the field, to better imagine themselves in such positions. However, technology does not develop in a vacuum, and this book also looks at the social, political and economic changes attendant upon the development of nanotechnology.

For the science-interested general public as well as chemists, students, lecturers, chemical organizations, materials scientists, journalists, politicians, industry, physicists, and biologists..

This paper discusses the range of sciences currently covered by nanotechnology. It begins with a description of what nanotechnology is and how it relates to previous scientific advances. It then describes the most likely future development of different technologies in a variety of fields. The paper also reviews the government’s current nanotechnology policy and makes some suggestions for improvement.

Enhanced abilities to understand and manipulate matter at the molecular and atomic levels promise a wave of significant new technologies over the next five decades. Dramatic breakthroughs will occur in diverse areas such as medicine, communications, computing, energy, and robotics. These changes will generate large amounts of wealth and force wrenching changes in existing markets and institutions.
