摘要: Futuristic visions have accompanied the development of nanotechnology since Eric K. Drexler popularized word with his 1986 book Engines creation. Future-oriented narratives about expectations and promises nanoscale technologies a centre stage in public discourse, but their statute is anything controversial. Both prospected innovations discourse on anticipated garnered attention by scholars commentators: one hand, literature focused transformative disruptive power technologies, discussing potential ethical, social, economic impacts (e.g. HLEG 2005; Ott Papilloud 2007; Roco Bainbridge 2001, 2002; Whitman 2007); other disrupting underlying values assumptions future-oriented our current ethical cultural system been examined (Cameron 2006; Grunwald Khushf Schummer 2007).
