   • 1998 September 11, Michael C. Martin, “GURPS: Space 1889”, in rec.games.frp.gurps‎ (Usenet):

     Nanopunk: Nanotechnology is the driving technology here. With nanofacs on every street corner, almost any TL6 item can be had for almost nothing. Even the lowest of street scum can easily beg enough for a warm coat and can eat fairly well. Neal Stephenson's _The_Diamond_Age_ is likely the definitive work here, and suggests a basic plot: some street urchin accidentally gets hold of an incredibly powerful artifact, and various powerful groups try to take it from her.

     IF YOU’RE NOT hell-bent on immortality, a transhumanist, a subscriber to Life Extension magazine, or an enthusiast of nanopunk (a subgenre, think cyberpunk), you’re likely dismissing the Freitas nanorobots as a Trekkie fantasy. That would put you in the vast majority of humanoids. Even among most nano-savvy scientists and physicians, Freitas’ ideas are too far off, too speculative to merit serious consideration.

     @Pingukittieh2 A GOOD scify should have an element of horror to it, I think. The one I'm writing now is a nanopunk scify and its scary.
