One thing a science fiction writer likes is when one of his gadgets becomes reality!
Back in 2004-5 when I wrote 'Meddlers in Time', I used the idea of a net to stop a vehicle by fouling its wheels and drive shaft by wrapping around them and locking them up.
The other night I was watching 'Future weapons' on Discovery and there was my net!
Another gadget to be used in a project I'm working on now is a miniature Taser projectile, delivered by shotgun.
That too is now a reality!
