The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas
A spacecraft returns from orbit with something extra; a top-secret government program swings into action. Outstanding early novel; very well-paced, still great reading after all these years. Select an invention:
Automatic Sentry Gun - targets without human intervention |
Automatic Vein Finder |
Electronic Body Analyzer |
Plastic-Eating Bacteria - that's the good news |
Project Scoop |
Ultraflash |
