> I found nanotech in the following novel by Philip E. High.
> It contains the earliest explicit bio-nanotech I have read.
> In this case, it means virus-sized "micro-biotic" warrior robot machines
> that use "recognition tapes" to recognise and destroy a tuberculin virus.
>
> Also included is High's usual array of miniature and micro-weapons left
> over from an earlier war, as well as a nano-sized micro-life civilization
> created as an accidental byproduct of illicit research (unrelated to the
> protagonist plotline, however, and not nano-machines anyway unless you
> count the aftereffects of their microscopic atomic civil war...) FUN!
