Oath of Fealty by Jerry Pournelle (w/L. Niven):
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas
Excellent novel by Niven and Pournelle. It deals with the problems inherent in running a very large city that is contained all in one building - an arcology. Great plot and characters, this novel also explores and compares the differences between feudal systems and modern democratic ones. Select an invention:
