Recommendation
The gates to the human genome have fallen, nano-technology is redefining life itself, and Moore’s law continues to work its magic. But is there a dark side to the technology juggernaut? The answer provided by the contributors to this cutting-edge tome is a definite, "maybe." If technology cannot be made more human-centric - designed to respond to human wants and needs - its promise could indeed be thwarted. getAbstract.com strongly recommends this book to anyone whose work helps to hone technology’s cutting edge, and for those who just hope to stay on the safe side of the blade.
