This expedition ventures into discussions of the first nanocars, the popular video games \u003ci\u003eSecond Life\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCrysis\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBioShock\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.
