Sorry if this is more of a rant than anything, but, as an almost-fan, I am
disappointed.
I only just started Stephen Baxter's "Deep Future" his first non-fiction
book and on page 23 (UK edition, paperback) I found this on nanotech:
"...nanotechnology offer us a still more profound mastery of the material
world.
Imagine you could work at the smallest of scales: imagine if you could take
apart atoms and rebuild them - turning lead into gold would be a trivial
accomplishment - and imagine if you could build machines out of the
components of atoms, from electrons and protons."
You what?!!?!
And this from one of the best *hard* SF writers around!
