Radical Abundance: How a Revolution in Nanotechnology Will Change Civilization
Categories: Computers & Technology, Science & Math
K. Eric Drexler, the founder of nanotechnology, explains how manufacturing at the atomic scale could transform the economy and the environment. He describes atomically precise manufacturing, which could make goods cheaply with little waste or energy, and explains the science behind it. Drexler also considers the potential benefits and risks and argues for planning ahead for a world of radical abundance.
