Description
Radical Abundance: How a Revolution in Nanotechnology Will Change Civilization By K. Eric Drexler The science of engineering at a molecular level is poised to revolutionize our world. Atomically precise manufacturing promises to produce more of what people want, while reducing costs. This breakthrough technology has already led to the creation of prototypes for circuit boards built from millions of precisely arranged atoms. As this technology advances, it could transform the way we make things, making them cleaner and more affordable on a global scale. Imagine solar arrays costing no more than cardboard and aluminum foil, or laptops priced similarly to those made today. Radical Abundance offers a thought-provoking exploration of cutting-edge science and its far-reaching implications for our future. A provocative tour of the latest scientific developments, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the potential impact of nanotechnology on our civilization.
