My New Book

RARE INVENTIONS

This book extends the work that was presented in my third book Out of This World Ideas.

The number of cases where the claim that an invention was inspired by a work of science fiction is correct is so small that the title RARE INVENTIONS is well justified.

Did depictions of fictional faster-than-light travel and communications inspire physicists to investigate such concepts?

Was the World Wide Web inspired by a science fiction story?

​

A story from 1946 described how we access data on the World Wide Web. Did it influence any of the developers of what became the Internet and the World Wide Web?

​

Is there a relationship between Prediction and Inspiration?

The answers to these and other questions are presented in RARE INVENTIONS. It is currently available as a paperback from Amazon, with the Kindle version to appear soon.
