Essentially, I think I just prefer the craftsmanship and care and humility of design and artifacts from the earlier era. And I don't know if that's just the result of me having the benefit of hindsight and sort of editing things out, or if it really is there.

FUTURISTIC MATERIALS A diamond's extraordinary clarity and strength make it an ideal building material, but also terribly hard to work with. Nanobots, however, could make diamonds in any shape at all--a sheet a few millimeters thick, say, to make a scratchproof window. And because the basic feedstock is ordinary carbon, these diamonds are as cheap as glass...
