I got this one again from the fun list here at work. If you want, the
pictures that are on the page of that link lead me to believe we are VERY
close to being able to do just about anything we want to on a
nanoconstructive scale/measure. Sure, the glass in that pic is rather large
by comparison to other things, but keeping in mind the fun involved and how
the Shadowrun universe might apply those techniques to say... optical
interfaces to be implanted into a (meta)human mind...
