The next book I would like to recommend is "The Fountains of Paradise" written by Arthur C. Clarke . This novel is set in the 22nd century, it describes the construction of a space elevator. This "orbital tower" is a giant structure rising from the ground and linking with a satellite in geostationary orbit at the height of approximately 36,000 kilometers (approx. 22,300 miles). Such a structure would be used to raise payloads to orbit without the expense of using rockets.

Here you can read it :
