I definitely don't understand the thinking behind how a lot of these books are considered nanotechnology. Anyone have any explanation for Hunger Games or the Host for example?

I guess they are included on the list because of their futuristic setting. I can understand The Host making the cut but The Hunger Games - not so much.

It's too bad, I thought this was a good concept for a list. Perhaps people could read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanotech... and remove there book from this list if there books contains NO nanotechnology.

Because it doesn't contain nano-technology. Most of the books on this list doesn't. Im guessing alot of people just dont know what nano-technology is.

Actually there are 140 voters on this list and 108 books. There are 66 books with more than one vote. I voted for 18 books and I'm willing to defend each of those.

The primary problem appears to be one voter - Taylor - who voted for 53 books.

Yea, this is kinda weird. A lot of these don't contain nanotech in their storyline.

However, if you are looking for a really great book that deals with nanotech, try

There are an awful lot of books on this list about nanotechnology - and then there are some that are questionable. And then there are some for there is no question such as Eragon and Fellowship of the Ring - and those should be removed. A fair rule would be if it doesn't say nanotechnology or some derivative of that word in the title or goodreads description or amazon or powells writeup then it shouldn't be here.

Quite honestly I'd like to remove the Hunger Games trilogy from this list as well. But not badly enough to reread them any time soon. At some point though I'll prove to myself that I can find random words from the books in google and that nano isn't in there in the slightest. Unless one of you 120 people want to explain to us all how these books have ANYTHING to do with NANOTECHNOLOGY. I'd love to be corrected.

I've read and am familiar enough with the the first book of the Hunger Games to be confident enough to say that there is no mention of 'nanotechnology' in that one. Nanotech would only appear in Capitol tech, and while we see mutants, costuming, and weaponry, as well as small cameras everywhere, we see no tiny building, consuming, or repairing machines, thus no nanotech.

I don't remember that The Host had any either- most of the advanced medical stuff was passed off with a very vague reference about chemicals and physiology, not nanotechs.

Matched didn't have anything like that. They relied mostly upon pharmaceutical plot devices, which were simply a concoction of medicine, not technology.

Gone, although it has been awhile since I read it, was mostly technology free- there was little power to begin with in the novel, and any reference to either tech or little creatures were either alien-esque creatures spoken with in death or supernatural-ish creatures with a hive mind in a deep tunnel. Neither of which have much to do with nanotech.

What is even up with this list? Uglies and Pretties has some nanotech, as I remember it- the cure was actually programmed nanobots in pill form, designed to fix a pretties brain to pre-operation, and then be turned off. I don't know about the other books in the same series, though.

Skinned and Cinder both had plausible amounts of nanotech to be kept on this list.

If you would list what you remove here, that would be helpful. Also I strongly suggest that if there is any doubt - leave the book in.

It's quicker to list the "Definitely yes" books. "Snow Crash" and "Diamond Age" by Neal Stephenson.

Obviously missing are "Altered Carbon" "Woken Furies" and "Broken Angels" (and actually I'd have to re-read the sequels to confirm).
