Eric Drexler — often called the godfather of nanotechnology — made a prediction.”The coming era of molecular machines will mean the end of many limits: the limit of scarcity, the limit of slow development, the limit of ignorance enforced by the lack of tools,” he wrote.Reading those words a few years later, when he was 16, Matthew Putman started thinking.”Our bodies work as these little micro-machines where you have ribosomes and enzymes and things that are working and replicating and making things all the time, but our factories work the way…
