Anyone ever read "The Diamons Age" by Neal Stephanson, about a futuristic China in an age of nanaotechnology? One of the heros of the book, J.P. Hackworth, is a nanotech engineer.

Neal Stephanson is best known for his cyberpunk (features a rather cool description of life with virtual reality) book Snow Crash, considered by many to be the best SF book of the 90s (yes, IMO it IS better than "Ender's Game" ;-)
