Twelve Tomorrows: Visionary stories of the near future inspired by today's technologies (all new 2016 edition)

Favourite idea: “... the Euthanasia Coaster, 'a humane, elegant, and euphoric solution,' in his own words, for those who have chosen to end their lives. ... It featured seven loops, each tighter than the one before, propelling the rider through successive degrees of g-force acceleration until a final, inescapable death. It was designed to give its riders a diverse range of experiences from euphoria to thrill to tunnel vision to loss of consciousness and, eventually, to the end result: death.”
