Nanosystems: Molecular machinery, manufacturing and computation is a 1992 non-fiction book by American engineer K. Eric Drexler.
It is an introduction to molecular nanotechnology, postulating that this technology will revolutionize human life in the near future. The book expanded on ideas previously explored in Engines of Creation (1986), providing a scientific framework for how such technology would function.
The book was criticized by some in the scientific community at the time of its publication. However, Drexel's claims about nanotechnology had a pronounced impact on the field of futurology.
