Not remotely pioneering though. Being 5-20 years (or more) behind the curve might be insightful to the average reader, but is in no way pioneering.

That'd be like saying Dolly the Sheep was pioneering in ideas about cloning humans. The ideas/ethics/concerns were around for decades. That average people willfully ignored them doesn't make the ideas new.

For what it's worth, when I was a kid, I loved Prey and it was my first experience with nano-technology. You only have to be pioneering to the right audience. ;)
