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?
