The book is from the estate of Jeri Kandel of Sarasota, Florida. Jeri an aspiring Sci Fi/Horror author was active in the Florida West Coast Sci Fi – Fantasy community. She was a "volunteer" for DragonCon in Atlanta and other Florida West Coast and Orlando events as an active member of ASFA where she acquired amazing autographs.

Have you heard someone claim that an invention was inspired by science fiction? Should you believe it? Surprisingly, it's possible. The real challenge is separating fact from fiction.

Out of This World Ideas explores such claims. Did a novel by Frank Herbert inspire a British engineer to solve a problem from the 1956 Suez Crisis? Did a Russian scientist's story inspire a new holography technique? Did Robert Heinlein's work influence U.S. atomic weapons plans before World War II?
