Just this week, our book What Is Nanotechnology and Why Does It Matter?:  From Science to Ethics was published by Wiley-Blackwell; I co-wrote it with Patrick Lin and Daniel Moore.  The book has three parts:  the first is a primer on basic nanoscience; the second explores general frameworks for thinking about risk and regulations of new technology; and the third explores particular social and ethical issues raised by nanotechnology (viz., environment, military, privacy, medicine, and enhancement).  Feedback welcome!  Here’s the cover: 

And the endorsements from the back of the book:

“The authors of What Is Nanotechnology and Why Does It Matter? answer their question with a broad and balanced examination of the nature of nanotechnology, how it is unfolding, and how these developments will affect issues of global concern: the impact of emerging technologies on the environment, medicine, military affairs, and civil society, and how we can act to achieve better outcomes.”
—Eric Drexler, author of Nanosystems: Molecular Machinery, Manufacturing, and Computation

What Is Nanotechnology and Why Does It Matter? provides a concise but clear introduction to the subject of nanotechnology as well as an excellent overview of nanotechnology’s ethical and social implications. I highly recommend it.”
James Moor, Dartmouth College
