Eric Drexler has a blog called Metamodern

I have recently discovered that Eric Drexler has started a blog called Metamodern - The Trajectory of Technology.

.

Drexler is the author of Engines of Creation: The Coming Era of Nanotechnology and Nanosystems Molecular Machinery Manufacturing and Computation. He also coined the term 'grey goo' - out of control self-replicating nanotechnology robots.

.

from Metamodern:

My main focus will be on research progress, largely in nanoscience and technology, and often with a special perspective: how current research is applicable to the development of advanced nanosystems. I’ve found that a system-building perspective can highlight research opportunities that might otherwise be missed. I’ll sometimes suggest specific research objectives that seem practical, valuable, and ready for work.

However, Metamodern isn’t intended to be “a blog about nanotechnology”; its scope includes broader issues involving technologies with world-changing potential. For example, looking well downstream in technology development, I will sketch the requirements for large-scale systems able to restore the atmosphere to its pre-industrial composition.

**It should be worth a read - although some of the early posts do look a bit too complex for 'joe the plumber' or his friend 'joe six-pack' to read.
