It doesn't end at the grey goo. There will always be mutation errors in the code and they'll happen fast. Single part nano-bots will become multipart nano-machines. Eventually it'll build up and more complex entities will exist. Before your know it,.. Cybertron. Yeah!!!!! But here’s the thing. It doesn’t end at the grey goo.

I want to know more. Also, Stu, your post reminded me of that Michael Crichton book, Prey. Except where you were all like 'Hey, let's build molecule-tight bunkers and survive and shit', he was all like 'Let's dance in teams to distract the swaaaaaarmmmmmm.' So I guess what I'm saying is fuck you, Crichton. That Primer idea completely fucks with everything I understand about the universe. I want to know more.

So because they work in reverse, they slowly but surely eat their way into history, atom by atom, millisecond by millisecond, until they reach <i>us</i> and destroy us completely, totally and utterly, and then continue backwards until all of human civilisation is consumed. But the society in 200 years continues to operate forwards, because the nanobots only work backwards in time. So I guess what I'm saying is fuck you, <i>Primer</i>.

I think I shall put some time aside next weekend to build myself a bunker. Don't suppose you have some blueprints of your bunker floating around? You have made a few damn good points here.
