New and merging technologies (Biotech, Informatics, Cognitive
Sciences, Nanotech) are slated to bring about the biggest industrial
revolution the world has known. New materials and nanomachines will
profoundly change the conditions for international trade and for our
everyday lives.  Proponents say this new technological wave will
bring a solution to every ill from resource scarcity to disability
and to global warming. Critics see a further erosion of human rights
and the unleashing of novel, toxic and potentially self-replicating
materials.  Can we stop the wave before it crashes?
