Ok, they go in depthish as benefits a proper newspaper. Only slightly hysterical.
Or we could just read some Greg Egan, Charlie Stross or Vernor Vinge for perspective.

Hmmm. I think what we really need to be concerned about are the modified Endamoeba which carry nanomachines which enter the brain and rewire neurons, thereby removing our ability to collapse quantum-mechanical wavefunctions. Yes, that's definitely the real threat --- if it can happen at all, it will find a way to do so!
