Always see everything.
I've been thinking about this randomly for years, and while it doesn't really bother me and I don't even think it was that good I wouldn't mind putting a name to this.

Sometime in the 80s (probably) I read some techno thriller about a deep sea oil drilling operation, coporate espionage and sabotage. The hook of the book, as I remember it, was the technology they used to get to the oil, which was building a massive shaft/tube right down the ocean floor, hundreds(?) of meters in diameter and kilometers deep. I don't remember what the reasoning behind that was but I remember being fascinated by the discussions on the logistics and physics of building such a thing.

I pulled a lot of those kinds of books from my dads bookshelf back then, big fan of airport fiction that man :)

The teeth one sounds like Harlan Ellison

Edit: Got curious and googled this. Is it Dentaphilia by Julia Slavin?
