Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Nanotechnology, or molecular technology, involves the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules, something the human body already does.In Engines of Creation , Drexler attempts to predict, justify, quantify, and caution us about this important new field in engineering. His book could have been the first and foremost discussion of this fascinating subject. But Drexler strays from the topic with annoying regularity. He devotes too little space to the possibilities of nanotechnology and too much to esoteric and opinionated discussions of philosophy, politics, information science, defense, human relations, etc. Nanotechnology will indeed become a reality, and the public needs to be informed. It is therefore unfortunate that Engines of Creation was not written more clearly or directly. Kurt O. Baumgartner, International Minerals & Chemical Corp., Terre Haute, Ind.

Kurzbeschreibung
This brilliant work heralds the new age of nanotechnology, which will give us thorough and inexpensive control of the structure of matter. Drexler examines the enormous implications of these developments for medicine, the economy, and the environment, and makes astounding yet well-founded projections for the future.

Format:Taschenbuch
Some six years have passed since my first reading of "Engine of Creation" and I have yearned ever since to get there, the nanotech future, as fast as possible.
I can only imagine, a century ago, people scoffing at Jules Verne's "fantasies" of man traveling to the moon or voyaging miles under water.
One would like to think that everything that we have accomplished in recent times would be sufficient reason never to focus on the "if" but on the "how".
Jules Verne's vision came about within a century, the Greeks' vision that man could fly took almost two milennia. Mr. Drexler's full vision may come about within decades.
The precepts of the book may be unsettling to some, not on the technological aspect though but on the social one.
What do you do when you come across a technology that promises to change 99% of your environment? Different people will react differently. Some will be scared, some will disregard it as mere fiction and others yet will vehemently attack it.
This is the type of controversy that this book has and will continue to generate.
Remember however, in the words of a wise man named Machiavelli, that "The innovator makes ennemies of all those who prospered under the old order , and only lukewarm support is forthcoming from those who would prosper under the new".

Erik Drexler provides to the general public the concept of nanotech. Well written and captures your imagination. Supports Stephen Hawkins' notion that the next evolution for mankind is being able to manipulate your own DNA. Highly recommended!

Great book on the ideas of nanotechnology. Over all very much in relation to medicine and the extension of the human lifespan. Also contains exciting examples of growing a rocket engine in a few hours, warring computers in experimental use today; amazing discoveries in medical science and the methods of the 18th and 19th century medical practitioners. Actually, a very educating book.
