The gray goo idea and most of the original nanotech stuff is the work of the physicist K. Eric Drexler. He did some great work around all this in the early 80s. Check out his stuff on the net or even his book "Engines of Creation". It's a great read. I love the work of Neal Stephenson too. I think his books do very well at imagining the impact of nanotech on how a society would function.
