The Nanotechnology in Science Fiction Bibliography Issue #27 - December 26, 1999 by Anthony S. Napier asnapier@juno.com http://www.erinet.com/prass/nanowars/ninsf/n_in_sf.html
This plain text version contains a list of Science Fiction novels
that are nanotech related. The full hyperlinked version, also contains
short stories, etext, tv, movies, games, comics, etc. I have not read
everything on this list. Additions and corrections should be sent to
<n-sf@lucifer.com>.
Thanks to all who have contributed to this bibliography.
Four stars **** nanotech is the center of the story Three stars *** nanotech is a major component of the story Two stars ** nanotech is a minor component of the story
Nanotech may be explicitly or implicitly stated, or be called by different names. People who have read one of the non-fiction books listed below should have a feel for the general definition of molecular nanotechnology.

Nanotechnology in Science Fiction (N-SF)
This is a forum to discuss any work of fiction that has portrayed nanotechnology in some way. N-SF is an unmoderated list. The hypertext archive of the mailing list can be found on the world wide web at <http://www.lucifer.com/n-sf/>.
This bibliography (you are reading) can be used as a starting point for discussion. "Engines of Creation" by K. Eric Drexler will be used as the baseline definition of molecular nanotechnology (MNT).
