Little Fuzzy by H. Beam Piper:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas
Very likable story set on the planet Zarathustra, a recently settled frontier planet. Old Jack Holloway, a sunstone prospector, finds something that will void the charter underwhich the entire planet is owned - a sentient being. Lots of discussion about what makes a human being "human" rather than animal make this interesting reading for those of you who wonder about it. Select an invention:
Cataclysmite - high explosive |
Veridicator - lie detector that works |
