The City and the Stars by Arthur C. Clarke:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas
The novel takes place in the distant future on Earth; only the city of Diaspar is left, according to the lore of the city. Diaspar is an entirely enclosed city run by a central computer, which generates bodies for its inhabitants to live in, and stores the accomplishments in memory forever. Excellent story. Select
an invention:
Matter Organizer A device that could cause a computer-generated image to be constructed as a real object.
