I read a book many years ago – say around 40 years ago – about commet dust that fell to earth and disabled all machinery by welding together anything that moved.
Any moving device, bearings, motors, etc. were welded together when they moved with the comet dust being present.
They finally developed a device that “swept” the atmosphere to cause the comet dust to fall out of the atmosphere where it was collected.
I don’t remember the author or the title.
Does anyone have any idea of the title or author of this book?
I just got done reading ‘Conventions of War’ by Walter J Williams, is the third book in the series of “Dread Empire’s Fall”. I think a fourth book is coming out, but it’s going to be a wao. I’m looking for a good book with similar story. “The Praxis” and “The Sundering” were the 1st and 2nd book in the series respectively.
I can’t remember the name of this book I read some years ago; all I can remember about it is that a government builds humanoid robots that can eat small amounts of food so they can avoid being detected as robots. I was reminded of it the other day and now it’s really bugging me. Does anyone know what it might have been?

My four year old wants a story book/ picture book about outer space. Preferably kids in a rocket ship exploring other worlds/ aliens or something similar. Thanks!
He needs it for a book report so if it has an easy to understand plot line that would be great. He also likes funny books, so if theres some humor in there that would be great too.
What do you like to see in science fiction?
If someone asked me the same question I`d probably say “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley. I think it`s much better “1984″ by George Orwell. But as a science fiction writer I think William Gibson is the best. Cyberpunk is just a fantastic genre!
I am looking for a science fiction book that includes close brothers. Brotherly love would be amazing. I have a project due, so this would be really helpful. Thanks!
I’m not looking for a specific book, any brotherly love science fiction book would be awesome!
