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. 650 0 $a Games and technology. 650 0 $a Nanotechnology $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Games $x Social aspects. 650 6 $a Jeux et technologie. 650 7 $a Games and technology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01739457 650 7 $a Games $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00937553 776 08 $i Online version: $a Milburn, Colin, 1975- $t Mondo nano $w (OCoLC)1138747492 830 0 $a Experimental futures. 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718091946.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BCE97C48214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
