"A playful expedition through the emerging landscape of nanotechnology, offering a
light-hearted yet critical account of our high-tech world of fun and games. This expedition
ventures into discussions of the first nanocars, the popular video games Second Life,
Crysis, and BioShock, international nanosoccer tournaments, and utopian nano cities.
Along the way, Milburn shows how the methods, dispositions, and goals of nanotechnology
research converge with video game culture. With an emphasis on play, scientists and
gamers alike are building a new world atom by atom, transforming scientific speculations
and video game fantasies into reality. Milburn suggests that the closing of the gap
between bits and atoms entices scientists, geeks, and gamers to dream of a completely
programmable future"--Publisher's description
