Michael Crichton’s 2002 novel, Prey, tells the story of a high-tech plant in the desert being overrun by sentient, self-replicating swarms of runaway nanoparticles. Technophobes and would-be venture capitalists can rest assured that the events described in the book are, of course, fictional; there is, however, a grain of truth in the notion that apparently purposeful behavior of groups of simple entities, or agents, can emerge out of apparently simple dynamic rules.
