Don't call us self-replicating molecules
From Gnomon Chronicles
Don't call us "self-replicating molecules".
We did not think of ourselves as your ancestors. We had lives of our own; we gave each other strain-titles:
"Devours Nucleotide Triphosphates", "Optimizes Phosphodiester Bonds Between Nucleotides", "Anticipates Protocell Metabolism".
In the News
Gray googly eyes is a hypothetical global catastrophic scenario involving molecular nanotechnology in which out-of-control self-replicating googly eye machines consume all biomass on Earth while building more of themselves.
