Children's book about a boy who travels to the future
0
I remember reading this (old) book when I was about ten years old. I can only remember a few things from it:
- They used coca-cola syrup to produce negative friction
- The main character gets arrested and questioned as to what he most dislikes doing. to fool the automated system, he said he hates inventing and building things, so the prison system makes him invent things (which he enjoys)
- the main character somehow was able to photosynthesize
