Foundation by Isaac Asimov:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas
Space opera at its finest, from a man who really knew how to put a story together. Fast-paced story with interesting characters; its a different sort of story if you've only read Gibson and Sterling. You need to know what psychohistory is, so start reading. (Also, take a look at the inventive ideas from Asimov's second and third books in the trilogy - Foundation and Empire and Second Foundation.) Select an invention:
Jump Through Hyperspace - is travel through hyperspace possible? |
Ultrawave Relay (or Hyperwave Relay) - first use of FTL communication |
Technovelgy.com is devoted
to the creative inventions of science fiction authors and movie makers. Look
