Books on Nanotechnology?

Posted by Cliff on from the science-fiction-to-become-fact...maybe? dept.

Dixie_Flatline asks: "Does anyone have any suggestions for reasonable books on Nanotechnology? With all the articles posted recently, my interest has been piqued. I'm not a biologist or an engineer, so I don't want anything that requires long nights studying to understand. I'm just a programmer with an interest in knowing how research has progressed, and interesting points about the subject."

  1. Drexler: "Engines of Creation" by Wiktor+Kochanowski · · Score: 2

    The classical text is Eric Drexler's "Engines of Creation", it has a followup work too the title of which evades me at the moment.

    For a fictional perspective try "Diamond Age" by Neal Stephenson and "Aristoi" by Walter Jon Williams.
