- Abstract
The article presents nine narratives that are archetypal stories about the relationship between nature and technology, which are highlighted at work in the field of nanotechnology. These narratives also presents different positions on how fundamental questions, such as the relationship between humanity and nature, permeate technology development and social debate. It is hoped that the conceptual framework offered in this article can assist in the advance of reflective technology development and transparent policy debate.
