This is... most provoking. Dear nanogirl, Nanosystems is a not very recent book, written by a single, albeit very bright, person.

Now nanotechnology research in the mainstream has begun in earnest, the results are most encouraging, and so far I don't see anything which absolutely excludes the possibility of designing some very, very nasty mites. All the Foresight Instututes in the world united cannot control a large, very busy scientific field.

I don't know about you, but I am worried. We must begin planning a nanoCERT, and allocate some funding towards theoretical goo studies. These computers are mighty fast nowadays, you know.
