Popis: Science-fiction literature showed many times its ability to conceive and anticipate major technological developments which seemed impossible at the time they were described. Certain inventions may arise out of complex interactions between science and fiction, even over long periods. The present paper discusses some of these interactions in the field of nanotechnology, from Drexler’s «nanobots» to the demiurgic phantasms of transhumanism.
