NO TIME TO DIE

NO TIME TO DIE. Cary Joji Fukunaga, director, writer (one of four). Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, Cary Joji Fukunaga, script and story; and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, script; Ian Fleming, characters.[1] UK, USA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), Universal Pictures, Eon Productions (production),[2] MGM, United Artists, Universal Pictures (main distribution),[3] 2021.

From the Synopsis on IMDb, as of 13 October 2021 (confirmed by RDE's watching the film):

MI6 scientist Valdo Obruchev is kidnapped from an MI6 laboratory. Approved by M, Obruchev has developed "Project Heracles", a bioweapon containing nanobots that infect like a virus upon touch and are coded to an individual's specific DNA, rendering it lethal to the target but harmless to others.[4]

So see for nanobots (sometimes called "nanites,"),[5] as — as the plot develops and the threat increases — the Bondian Threat to the World As We Know It, with little made of it except as a plot device. For a kind of plague that can be directed to genetically identified groups (up to ethnic groups and races), cf. and contrast John Shirley's Eclipse Trilogy.

There is also a bionic eye that can be used for surveillance and communication and kind of an espionage-inflected Zoom meeting, for which cf. and definitely contrast such works as The Continuous Katherine Mortenhoe and the works linked there.
