E. Modesitt's literature, particularly that which he terms "speculative fiction," incorporating aspects of the future that tend to look far more realistic than many of the fantasy-style visions of a significant amount of science fiction. Perhaps one of the most intriguing (and telling) things about his works is that they've incorporated nanotechnology, including the "inhaled, infused through the skin, or ingested" ideas for quite some time. Yet most people with whom I discuss such ideas remain skeptical, if not completely disbelieving. To take the sensor delivery method further, is it such a stretch to think that targeted medications or other nanoscale medical applications could be delivered in the same manner?
