"Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" was written by Philip K.
Dick.  Largely unkown outide the SF field.  However the film based
upon that book is often ranking among the 10 best SF movies
every made.  That's Blade Runner with Harrion Ford.

And your momenclature reminds me of Ralph 124C 41+.

I'm just re-reading after tracking down a used paperback of the 
reprint made in 1958.

The + after the name is reserved for the most brilliant and there
are only 10 people in the world with a plus after their name.

Ralph had saved a woman from an avalanche in Europe by re-directing
power through the air to melt and divert part of that.  She and her
father traveled to NYC in the tunnel connecting Europe and NYC
in a 5 hour trip.  The tunnel was cut straight - not following the
curve - and the cars were round with an inner shell with a vacuum
between them to keep the heat from the earth at the the middle
where the tube was close to 200MPH deep and from the friction.

The tube they road in was propelled by magnetic pulses that
dragged them forward at high speed.  In NYC Ralph made a speech
carried on his videophone - but on his side his wall had a huge
panel and he could see the faces of the thousands of them watching.

The airplance they rode in flew at 600 miles per hour.

As I recall from the last time I read this about 40 years ago,
there is also radar and military tanks.

It was written by Hugo Gernback who was prescient in his writings
as none of this had been invented.  He wrote this 1911.  That was
even before voice radio transmission.

Gernsback went on to found a publishing house and competed
in technical manuals with Sams.

But your 'momeclature' reminded me of it. And Ralphs' name
can be pronoucne Ralph. One To Forsee For One. Plus.

In predicting the future he was far more accurate than Jules Verne.
