One of the most fascinating aspects of speculative science fiction is the tech. Whatever creators can dream up, futurenauts can use. Teleporters! Time Travel! Fantastic weaponry! Wouldn't it be great if we actually had this stuff for real? Well, not so fast. Heroes of fiction are just that: heroes. So they only tend to use this stuff for mostly altruistic reasons.
