I’ve just noticed on Amazon that Michael Crichton has just released a new book called Prey. The story revolves around nanotechnology and sounds like it could have a lot in common with Bill Joy’s letter in Wired from a few years ago, Why the future doesn’t need us.
I’ll have the book by tonight, and should finish it within the next few days (Crichton writes the only novels I manage to rip through quickly).

I found the book a real page turner and although not specifically mentioned the similarities to some of the points that Bill Joy made in the Wired Magazine article “Why the Future Doesn’t Need Us” were interesting.
