| Summary |
While the sustainability of our world is being endangered or destroyed by the misguided activities of artificial human entities, real people have begun to expand their moral sympathies sufficiently to prioritize protecting our world's interests. They have developed a new technology-nanotechnology-that has the potential to advance human society toward a period of long-term sustainability, termed ""the Sustainocene."" This book comprises chapters by experts in various fields of nanotechnology and in related areas of governance under the theme of how nanotechnology can assist in the creation of t |
