"The book that initiated the discussion of what may be the single most important technology of the 21st century. Drexler's careful and yet provocative analysis combined with clear and accessible writing launched nanotechnology into the public consciousness. I first read this book in the late 80's when the ideas were still little known. _Engines_ had me walking around in a daze; literally bumping into walls from the intoxication of the ideas. 25 years after it's first publication anyone familiar with the subject will have seen all of these ideas in other places, but _Engines_ remains the single best treatment of the topic."
"Excellent book! Fantastic insight into the not-too-distant future. The term construction will take on a whole new meaning, just as the term computer used to mean a person doing computations now it means a PC."
