Way Station by Clifford Simak:
Science Fiction Inventions and Ideas

A gentle classic by Simak; the writing of this book has a strong echo of the last century. Aliens and interstellar culture are used to help us understand the unfamiliar in our own lives here on Earth. A great book. Select an invention:

Frictionless Coating - no stick before teflon

Rifle Range (Virtual Shooting Range) - virtual skeet shooting designed by aliens

Talisman - focus on your hopes

Way Station - galactic station master
