The immensity around him went unheeded as Steve Elbertson, eyes on Project Hot Rod, savored the power of the beam that could control Earth. In the observatory, Perk Kimball and his assistant Jerry Wallace were having coffee as the various electronic adjuncts to the instruments of the observatory warmed up.
As for computer-generated books, they won't be stored in a specific section any more, but "converted" when requested from the existing electronic files in the main collections.

Walters' face was grim.
