Nanovision

Engineering the Future

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"A paradox: we see the future utterly transformed by nanotechnology and related technosciences; because the future is transformed, we cannot see it at all. Spiraling out from this central insight, "Nanovision" explores the cultural and social implications of nanotechnology through a wide range of material-semiotic-discursive effects. Witty, incisive, and insightful, "Nanovision" is essential reading for anyone interested in where we are now and where we might be headed."--N. Katherine Hayles, Duke University
