I can see it now: just get the enemy to breathe in a cloud of nanobots, or have the bots enter their body through an open cut that they make, and the enemy’s body is yours: no violence needed.
We live in a terrifying time because there’s just no way to dodge this sort of stuff unless you have the EMP tech, since a Hazmat suit is unsustainable to don long-term.
no violence needed
How is this entire thing not violence?
unless you have the EMP tech
So you mean like robots with electronics in them? You should read less science fiction. This is beyond bill gates microchip injection nonsense.
That sounds much more complicated than just using a gun. And they even work on people in hazmat suits.
It’ll be mosquito sized drone that stings you in the neck and then you die
This is literally the concept of a popular science fiction TV series. I won’t say which one because I don’t want to spoil it, but its next season is eagerly awaited, and it was huge when it was airing its previous season(s).
The series is based on books, and some fans of the series have read ahead; some have finished the books and know what all happens. Of course adaptations do change things, but killer nanobots that were used to wage war were the catalyst and a hidden plot point. I think the next season will reveal this.
(No, it’s not Fallout. Fallout is good old-fashioned nuclear war. The show doesn’t follow any of the games, but they share the same lore. The show is changing some of that, adding onto it (e.g. Vault Boy origin story in the first season), but they aren’t changing that. Also, not based on books.)
If you know, don’t say. Or at the very least use spoiler tags.
Wait until you hear about viruses or prions. Truly terrifying nanobots. Worst of all, they already exist. Those things are out there right now.
Prions are absolutely wild. There is no cure, no “vaccine” - not that that would even be possible because they’re not viruses, bacteria, or even living things from outside your body. They’re just a faulty version of something that already exists in your system and they make your body self-destruct.
Prime horror movie material.
You trust your body. You trust your mind. But what if the enemy… is already inside you?
They’re not viruses. They’re not bacteria. They’re your own proteins… twisted. Hungry.
They hide in the folds of your brain. They wait in the silence of your cells. And when they strike… you won’t even know you’re already lost.
PRIONS
COMING TO AN ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM NEAR YOU
If a plausible zombie virus were to exist, it would definitely be those long-incubating stuff
We live in a terrifying time
Well, the nanobots that you are describing do not exist, so they aren’t what is making the time terrifying
This is different from poison, how?
It’s way more expensive!
They most probably won’t, there is literally zero chance that someone would kill you with nanobots.
Do you believe that nanobots like this exist?
the borg, replicators(milky way) all use nano-robots as a method to attack thier intended victims, or assimilate them.
its actually the basis of borg assimilating a planet, deploy cloud of nanoprobes into the infect the population through the atmosphere, they dont seem to do it often though.
I think you’ve watched too many movies while sucking on a bong
If you’re into this concept you should read the Blade series by Linda Nagata
