The book "Engines of Creation," by one K. Eric Drexler, describes this technology and discusses the societal ramifications of its introduction. Whether one believes in the possibility of such things or not (Drexler is a persuasive advocate), it makes for good reading in my opinion. He was (is?), I believe, associated with MIT in some way (don't have the book with me, so can't refer to the jacket) -- perhaps a student?? -Jonathan Slocum -------
