R.U. Sirius, who has an impressive track record of spotting cultural and technological trends years before the rest of the media pick up on it, has posted an interview with me on his neofiles Webzine.
It's obvious that business and government have a bad case of DNA PTSD, or genetic shell shock, which is why they certainly won't get fooled again when it comes to nanotechnology. I've heard the mantra many times during the past few years: "No More GMO." But the chanters wear pinstripes and not patchouli oil.
The nano meme continues to pick up steam. Here are some of the latest games and videos with a nano theme.
Apparently, Mr. Crichton has been following nanotech nonfiction, as well.

The president's chief nano agent likes to "reverse the polarity" on the issue when he talks about calls from some environmental groups to halt nanotech development.
Yet another cultural bellwether, the late-night TV monologue, has reached down to the nano level.
