>Robert Heinlein, in one of his worst (least very good?) books wrote about a USA which had been conquored by "Oreintals." A beam weapon was developed which would target only "Orientals."
Yes, right, I had forgotten that one. I read it, and didn't consider it one of his most impressive books, either. Mighty the title be "Sixth column"?
>Recently Ben Bova had a series (topic is Industrial Warfare in the Asteroid Belt) in which "nanobots" typically used for industrial processes but also capable of working inside the human body could be used to enhance the human immune system. They were also capable of being programmed as weapons.
So far, I have only read one book by Ben Bova.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
