摘要
One of the more salient concerns about nanotechnology is the fear that it will harm privacy by collecting personal information and distributing it. This sentiment is complicated by the fact that the specific nanotechnologies that might affect privacy are located more in the near future than in the present, so our knowledge of them is more speculative than empirical. To come to terms with these issues, we will need both knowledge of the science - what is realistic and what is not - and a sense of the on-going discourses on privacy and technology that are likely to frame feelings about nanotech. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2007.
