- Summary:
- This book explores the societal, ethical, legal, policy, economic, and security issues surrounding nanotechnolology. Truly transformative technologies, most especially those that lay people cannot begin to understand, always generate controversy. Establishing an effective process for identifying and understanding the broad implications of nanotechnology for society will play a central role in the acceptance and success of nanotechnology and will affect the decisions of policymakers and regulatory agencies.
