Summary: A TERRIFIC READ!
Review: To say this book is a page turner is to put it mildly. Nano explores the great possibilites and terrifying aspects of nantotechnology in our future world. Now, it takes a good writer to take a complicated subject and give us a story that is compelling and smart. I found it a fast, gripping read. Every time I thought one more page, it turned into another twenty. Even if tech thrillers isn't your usual fair, you'll find Nano a book hard to put down. Expect to see this one turn into a best seller!

Summary: Great Read! Not to be missed!
Review: What a rush!
Nano will have your mind pulling 10 Gs... careful, or you'll black out!
An awesome, highly thought provoking 1st novel by John Robert Marlow. Just finished reading it... and this absolutely HAS to be a movie! It vaporizes (disassembles?) Crichton's 'Prey'... technically, emotionally, and intellectually. No contest!To finally see in story form, some of the overwhelmingly profound concepts that have filled my mind for years... moved me to tears. For years I have struggled to share exactly these concepts with people, but failed to capture their attention. NANO brilliantly illuminates these concepts, and the movie will create epiphanies for millions. The NANO movie may be the vehicle to finally inject the Nanotechnology meme into the mass consciousness! Most of the story surrounds the use of self-replicating nanobots, and a sentient AI that exists on the global net. The illustration of the AI's thought process and 'dawn of sentience' was great... I loved it! I want that upgrade... 8^) Bottom line... this story is an excellent 1st step to grasping the concepts contingent on Nanotech: arbitrary manipulation of matter, enhanced intelligence, immortality, sentient AI, and even the Singularity! What a rush!

Summary: Fantastic Read!! What a journey!
Review: What led me to read this book was the the amazon review by Nanotechnology Now editor Rocky Rawstern, which calls it "plausible, scientifically accurate, and timely....the most important piece of fiction written to date." I figured, this guy knows his nanotech, and he's calling it better than Michael Crichton, so I'll give it a read. The book both scared the heck out of me and gave me enormous hope for humanity's future while taking me on a roller-coaster thrill ride I'll never forget. The author's website provides in-depth detail on nanotech, too! I want a sequel!
