  • Eric Drexler 11px-Wikipedia_logo.jpg - Author of Engines of Creation (2007 update here but currently US only) and prophet of molecular nanotechnology. He describes molecular assemblers 11px-Wikipedia_logo.jpg as "engines of abundance". (However as interesting and capable as advanced nanotechnology is likely to be, it is necessarily required in the development of a post-scarcity society).
