All the cool shit we love and dreamed of - VR, robots, artificial intelligence, drones. And, don't forget about lasers!  Just like in Star Wars, care of the evil empire. How long until a death star shows up posing as a moon and blows a planet apart? Earth, for example.

I was following laser weapons 20 years ago, I can't believe I haven't thought to check in sooner.
