another recommended reading would be Neil Stephenson's <i>The Diamond Age</i> - it is a work of fiction, but he does alot in interpreting the way that nanotech will affect us in the future...
i think it has wonderful and at the same time slightly sinistert applications... to control the building blocks of life and make anything you want is to control the whole world around you.
