This Immortal by Roger Zelazny:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas
This is such a likable book; it is set several hundred years in the future on a ruined Earth. Aliens visit it as you would a museum; imagine a race foolish enough to despoil a planet. Hot spots (from radiation) dot the planet; human DNA moves on. Satyrs and nymphs again hold sway in rocky grottoes in Ithica. It won a Hugo for Zelazny. Select
an invention:
Diptray A hovering tray of drinks, used for parties.
|
Radson Skimmer A small vehicle designed for a small number of passengers; capable of low, slow flight.
