A blade of grass is just a machine of carbon and amino acids. Nanotechnology of nature: a self-regulating collection of chemicals and fluids, harmonious together in a thread of neatly packed sugars, folded and twisted into a matrix of growing and changing swarms of cellular units, plexing into random chao-biotic shapes and forms.

One wonders what might happen if our invented machines of carbons and plastic were allowed to begin from such a primal state and evolve to form their own twists on ecology. Does anyone know of any twisted science fiction that explores this idea? I want to write some short stories about this.
