This book defines 'nanowares' as the ideas and products arising out
of nanotechnology. Koepsell argues that these rapidly developing
new technologies demand a new approach to scientific discovery and
innovation in our society. He takes established ideas from social
philosophy and applies them to the nanoparticle world. In doing so
he breaks down the subject into its elemental form and from there
we are better able to understand how these elements fit into the
construction of a more complex system of products, rules and
regulations about these products. Where existing research in the
field has tended to focus on potential social harm, Koepsell takes
a different approach by looking at ways in which developments in
distributed design and fabrication can be harnessed to enable
wealth creation by those with good ideas but no access to capital.
He argues that the key challenge facing us is the error implicit in
current intellectual property regimes and presents new modes of
relating inventors to artifacts in this new context. In conclusion
he offers contractual models which he believes encourage innovation
in nano-media by embracing open source and alternative means of
protection for innovators.
