Deception Point: Microbots and Others

My GOD! There is a fossil in this meteorite! Not just a speck of bacteria or microbes, but an advanced life-form! Proof of life elsewhere in the universe!

My first encounter with Dan Brown’s work was his most recent installment ORIGIN. A book that fascinated the hell out of me. I remember going through those page after page, day and night. At that time, I was at my uncle’s house and for the first time, my aunt labeled me as a couch potato. To be honest, I don’t know what it is.

For the book however which was released in 2001, the topic was fairly new. What are microbots you ask? Micro ElectroMagnatical System or MEMS or Microbots are remote control robots, which can fly or swim depending on their models and are used for surveillance…
