Shell might be involved in a movement to encourage people to accept nanotech. Like there might be some resistance to it and she's a member of the opposite faction.

Oh, Miroku, I like that. We could start out with a conflict where people on New Pandora are split, either paranoid of nanotech treatments or borderline authoritarian on forcing them on people.

Forced nanotech treatments? That has some interesting real world political analogues.

I was kind of thinking that, too. But it would be a cool plot element. Would there really be luddites and technophobes in such an advanced society, I wonder?

An advanced civilization with space stations and nanotech medicine would likely also have advanced government and education, but I wouldn't doubt the existence of a few hold-outs here and there. Might make for a good basis for a villain character, just putting that idea out there.
