The 23rd century crowned a king of the future: nanotechnology. Nanotechnology, a science relying on the creation of tiny machines the size of atoms or "motorized DNA," became the magic of a new generation, literally making anything possible. Nanites could do anything from clean the air to spontaneously form to create a book, a television, a doll, a disease. Nanotechnology changed the way we view production, machine, and matter.
