Interview with Dr. Eric Drexler during his recent book tour for Radical Abundance (PublicAffairs, 2013).

“To begin with, it’s important to understand that the prospects I describe involve something more than nanotechnology in the present sense — they involve developments that are outside the fields of material science and much simple nanoscale devices. The long-range revolutionary potential of developments at the nanoscale will come from atomically precise manufacturing, a technology analogous to digital information technologies or 3D printing: a general-purpose way to make intricate patterns of something, in this case, patterns of advanced materials that form advanced products of all kinds.” (Nanotechnology Now)
