In 1969, physicist Gerard OΓÇÖNeill began looking to space colonies as humanityΓÇÖs new frontier; a decade later, engineer Eric Drexler turned his attention to the molecular world. Blending countercultural ideals with hard science, entrepreneurship, libertarianism, and optimism, these modern utopians predicted their technologies could transform societyΓÇöbut itΓÇÖs not always easy being a modern utopian. Author W. Patrick McCray examines the successes and pitfalls the scientists encountered, and how they ultimately imagined, designed, and popularized speculative technologies such as space colonies and nanotechnologies
