Stephenson's book is also a few more pages than this article. This forum has a great deal of doomsaying about nanotech going on. In any case, if nanotech is possible it will be developed whether or not we iron out its negative implications first. People want to explore possibility, and there is certainly a great deal of possibility involving nanotech. It's almost like the invention of magic. Stephenson's book really makes this apparent by commingling the nanotech future with a fantasy story that slowly merge until they're virtually indistinguishable from each other. This also coincides with the birth of a harmonious integration of nanotech and humanity. It's actually pretty disturbing. Kinda like hippy borgs with free love and a STRANGE way of data dissemination (insemination?).
