Yes, “Grey Goo” sounds like a funny name for a real-time strategy game. It conjures up images of harmless blobs, or World of Goo’s adorable sticky building blocks.
But when you actually read up on the concept, which involves swarms of self-replicating nano-robots that break down anything and everything (including people) for materials with which to build more self-replicating nano-robots, it becomes downright terrifying. Like the atomic bomb and biological warfare, it’s a means by which humanity might eventually destroy itself through unchecked scientific advancement. The name’s not so cute anymore, is it?
