Mini-description

(max. 250 characters)

The public realise they have been purposely misinformed over concerns of nano research and refuse to acknowledge this as an emerging technology. All scientific progress is halted as major sponsors cut funding

Likelihood

Closest timeframe for at least 50% likelihood
Please use one of the following options:
now-2050

Features of life if the wild card manifests

Feature 5: politics and global affairs
nanotechnology research stops in certain countries, this puts then at a clear commercial and technological disadvantage compared to other countries where research continues
