Engines of Creation: The Coming Era of Nanotechnology is a book published by K. Eric Drexler in 1986. In it, Drexler lays out the concept of tiny machines having structures on a scale of billionths of a meter, or nanometers. Built up atom by atom, these structures make up simple machines which in turn are used in making more complex machines which are finally assembled to form microscopic factories.
