Nanotechnology - technology at the molecular level - is held out by many as the
Holy Grail for creating a trillion dollar economy and solving problems from
curing cancer to reprocessing waste into products and building superfast
computers. Yet, as with GMOs, many view nanotech as a high risk genie in a
bottle that once uncorked has the potential to cause unpredictable, perhaps
irreversible, environmental and public health disasters. With the race to bring
products to market, there is pressing need to take stock of the situation and to
have a full public debate about this new technological frontier. Including
contributions by renowned figures such as Roland Clift, K. Eric Drexler and
Arpad Pusztai, this is the first global overview of the state of nanotech and
society in Europe, the USA, Japan and Canada, examining the ethics, the
environmental and public health risks, and the governance and regulation of this
most promising, and potentially most dangerous, of all technologies.
