Drexler's website seems to be down, I hope it's just a temporary glitch.

Ever since reading Drexler's Engines of Creation in 1989, it's been clear to me that self-replicating nanotechnogy will be more important than all past inventions combined, more productive than all prior ideas, capital and labor.

What happened? The open work of Drexler, Merkle and the rest was sabotaged by Cabal (call them what you will, the agents of the pervasive matrix of malicious mediocrity). It may have continued in secret, but I doubt they got far. Such inferior people are incapable of understanding what even a little leak of genius can lead to, for instance the seed of Merkle trees sprouting into the whole crypto ecosystem. But it's impossible to more than delay the arrival of nanotechnoogy, no matter how Cabal blights the lives of our Promethians.
