Plenty of Room at the Bottom is the author’s humble accolade to Prof. Richard Feynman, whose pioneering thought could usher a new direction in modern science and establish a paradigm of new technology-the Nanotechnology! The book presents developments in the field through facts and figures, not as a science text, but as an emotive account to non-experts who constantly desire to know the latest about science and technology. It tries to portray the domain of nano from the perspective of a recent outlook of technology as put forward by Kevin Kelly, and its implication towards society thereby reiterating Alvin Toffler on his legendary anecdote of technology in our civilization. It is neither a review nor a roadmap but an attempt to sketch the inevitable acceleration of our civilization towards a new future. The author expresses very sincere gratitude to all the authors, researchers and scientists whose works have been discussed, highlighted and cited. The author regrets not being able to include many other important research works. However, he believes that the book will incite interested readers to find it for themselves. The author acknowledges the support and assistance of Mr. Balvinder Atwal, Brampton, Ontario, Canada towards the publication.
