Book Description
The Clash of Nanoman and Abman is a story about two extraordinary supermen. Nanoman was created in Iran by eight scientists trying to save Iran from the West and the current regime in Iran. Around the same time, American scientists created their own superman (called Above-Man, or simply Abman) to fight the Chinese, Russians, and the Taliban. When Nanoman and Abman meet, they clash with each other, but will they work together to solve the worlds problems?

Book Description
A fateful accident strands unpublished author Johnnie Lappdog in two overlapping dimensions. In one, he is grateful to be alive; in the other, he suffers from Locked-In Syndrome, or coma with consciousness. Known as Nanoman, the comatose Johnnie becomes the star of a reality TV show where his organs are harvested for needy recipients. Meanwhile, his grateful counterpart suffers each time the ailing twin donates his body assets. Discovering the cause of his affliction, Johnnie must prevent the final episode of the show from taking place, or Nanoman will be legally euthanized, killing them both! San Francisco and international locations spice up this dark comedy.

The God Gene

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
It’s an Age of Abundance. No longer do humans struggle to meet their basic needs. Arguably, they live better than kings of old. But despite this, it’s the intelligence explosion that steals the limelight; technological innovations come so rapidly that they create a backlash. The risks to the new world order are just too great. And now there’s talk of both a nano man--comprised of a shape-shifting swarm of nanites--and a human with the god gene. Even with a planetary ubermind to keep things under control, fears are that one or another of them will be able to hack the ubermind. Have they done so already? And if so, how long after they settle their score with one another to see who's top dog before they're free to mess with the entire human race? For one woman and the two men that love her, these concerns are more than simply academic. You see, one of the three carries the god gene. Pick up a copy now to see if the very thing that truly makes us stronger--our relationships--survives the latest onslaught of a technology that hits like a tsunami wave. NOTE: CONCEIVED IN THE SPIRIT OF IAIN M. BANKS’ CULTURE SERIES, THE NOVELS IN THE AGE OF ABUNDANCE SERIES, LIKEWISE, ARE STAND-ALONE BOOKS THAT CAN BE READ IN ANY ORDER. THEY FEATURE DIFFERENT CASTS OF CHARACTERS. THE AGE OF ABUNDANCE IN WHICH THE STORIES ARE SET SPANS FROM THE NEAR FUTURE TO THE FAR FUTURE. IN THE EVENT ANY OF THE AGE OF ABUNDANCE NOVELS ARE SERIALIZED, THEN THE SAME CAST WOULD PREVAIL. I.E. THE GOD GENE 2.

Nanofabrication Handbook
Author: Stefano Cabrini
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1420090526
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 548
Book Description
While many books are dedicated to individual aspects of nanofabrication, there is no single source that defines and explains the total vision of the field. Filling this gap, Nanofabrication Handbook presents a unique collection of new and the most important established approaches to nanofabrication. Contributors from leading research facilities and academic institutions around the world define subfields, offer practical instructions and examples, and pave the way for future research. Helping readers to select the proper fabricating technique for their experiments, the book provides a broad vision of the most critical problems and explains how to solve them. It includes basic definitions and introduces the main underlying concepts of nanofabrication. The book also discusses the major advantages and disadvantages of each approach and offers a wide variety of examples of cutting-edge applications. Each chapter focuses on a particular method or aspect of study. For every method, the contributors describe the underlying theoretical basis, resolution, patterns and substrates used, and applications. They show how applications at the nanoscale require a different process and understanding than those at the microscale. For each experiment, they elucidate key solutions to problems relating to materials, methods, and surface considerations. A complete resource for this rapidly emerging interdisciplinary field, this handbook provides practical information for planning the experiments of any project that employs nanofabrication techniques. It gives readers a foundation to enter the complex world of nanofabrication and inspires the scientific community at large to push the limits of nanometer resolution.

Book Description
In Mondo Nano Colin Milburn takes his readers on a playful expedition through the emerging landscape of nanotechnology, offering a light-hearted yet critical account of our high-tech world of fun and games. 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. Welcome to the wild world of Mondo Nano.
