that is a very fancy way of saying "air freshener but not the perfume kind"
It's more about the sort of berserker futurism required to pitch even something as simple as next-gen air freshener as a nanotechnological innoculation. When we get some proper future tech china is going to go full #YOLO on deployment while the west is still worrying about ethics
the language use is interesting for sure. I guess an aerosol at the single digit parts-per-million level qualifies as "nano" in some sense but it's not what I think of when I hear the word. I tend to think actual nanometer scale machines, which this isn't.
the "berserker" futurism idea is fun though. at some point somebody (probably China, yeah) is gonna just say fuck it and do some geo-engineering or release an engineered retrovirus intentionally or something and then we'll really be in the berserk future.
