I'm having a difficult time imagining what nano-enabled religious
fundamentalism might be like. Or any nano-enabled mass movement, for that
matter. When I put on my "future binoculars" I keep getting pictures of
more individual-to-individual or small group-to-small group types of
combat--rather like in the old days of sword fighting. Am I having a failure
of imagination?
