I'm an inveterate skeptic, and agree with quite a lot of what they are saying - but only for the near-term future. We shall no doubt see a lot of really interesting technology in our lifetimes, a small fraction of which will operate on the nanoscale- we've already got some of that. But the really radically advanced nanotech that Drexler imagines is centuries away - and some of it will operate in a completely different way to how he imagines it.
