About nanobots
I was just reading about the molecular nano-machine that presumably could control 16 others and the future applications it may have. The most intriguing side of the news for me was the medical implementation as a no-cut-no-blood surgery machine. Think about it - you have a braintumor and your medicine would be a little capsule or a hypodermic syringe filled with couple of nanobots who simply go and destroy the hostile tissue.
Well, you could also think forward and perhaps the nanobots would enable some “magical” powers, like in the last year’s dystopian adventure Bioshock. There we had plasmids that you inject into your bloodstream and they enhance your abilities and provide new “magical” powers. Check out Bioshock, the storytelling was awesome.
