Description
By MeGenerally speaking, due to the wide rage of potential uses for nanotechnology, it's more than likely that other genres will use it in some way without it being a purely Nanopunk piece.
For example, the first season of the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex series featured a scandal involving a medical nanotech company, and a conspiracy which resulted in cops ending up with nanocameras inserted into their eyes without their knowledge so that someone could spy on their investigation. It's a plot within a Cyberpunk/post-Cyberpunk setting, but it isn't an overall Nanopunk setting as that's not what the entire thing is about, see?

When you think about it, nanotechnology is just a bioweapon with a more synthetic nature. From this, I would argue that negative Nanopunk is actually just a zombie apocalypse plot dressed up in more sci-fi clothes.

Well, depends on how it's used. Grey Goo stories work in the kind of zombie apocalypse manner (the novel Jam is a good example of this), but due to the broad area of applications it doesn't necessarily have to be used in this manner.
The example from Stand Alone Complex, for example, uses it in the form of a corporate conspiracy story, for example.
