Imagine a world where nanotechnology has become etched into the very biological framework of our existence. Not only are these nano-sized robots swimming through your bloodstream, keeping your organs healthy, but they’re also connected to the cloud and can augment your very physical appearance in seconds. How might law enforcement use this technology and what possible repercussions may arise from it?

These questions are explored in a new science-fiction short film titled Nano. In this fictional world, nanotech is used to keep people healthy, can regenerate skin cells, and augment your physical appearance. The only “problem” is that law enforcement can directly access your nanobots and temporarily paralyze you if you’re committing a crime. Hackers don’t like this and, in response, are now waging a dangerous rebellion against nanotech.
