Book Description
A lavishly funded, security-conscious nanotechnology institute in the foothills of the Rockies, Nano is ahead of the curve in the competitive world of molecular manufacturing, including the construction of microbivores, tiny nanorobots with the ability to gobble up viruses and bacteria. But when Pia Grazdani takes a job there, she’s shocked by the secretive corporate culture. She’s warned by her boss not to investigate the other work being done at the gigantic facility, nor to ask questions about the source of the seemingly endless capital that funds the institute’s research. And when Pia encounters a fellow employee on a corporate jogging path suffering the effects of a seizure, she soon realizes she may have literally stumbled upon Nano’s human guinea pigs. Is the tech giant on the cusp of one of the biggest medical discoveries of the twenty-first century—a treatment option for millions—or have they already sold out to the highest bidder?

Nano

Author: Philip S. Berg
Publisher: Kabbalah Publishing
ISBN: 1571895825
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 297

Book Description
Public interest in the connection between science and religion has recently become very high, but the subject has long been studied by Kabbalists. Years before “nano” entered the vernacular as an abbreviation for “nanotechnology” — which essentially means “less is more” rather than “the bigger, the better” — Rav Berg was speaking and writing about this scientific concept in spiritual terms. And although the concept that less physicality can produce more power was only a recent discovery by scientists, it’s something that Kabbalists have known throughout the ages. In his first new book in many years, Berg examines this idea in depth. He contends that space will continue to shrink until there is nothing between humans and the world around them, lending support to the notion that “we are all one” — and by extension, to the credo “love thy neighbor as thyself.”
