The Shining One by Nat Schachner:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas
Very nicely done story illustrates how science fiction authors warn about the future by predicting future weapons systems. The story is also a cautionary tale about trying to fight the last war all over again. Select an invention:
Concentrated Light - predicts the laser |
Multiple Sample Voice - sound mixing 30's style |
Sono-Induction Coils - buried speaker technology |
Subphoton Search Ray - see through walls |
Vibration Screen - keep spy beams out! |
