science fiction gadget, spy gearThere have been many nights where I dreamt of driving fast cars through cobble streets as international hitmen try to follow me as I weave in and out of traffic before losing them and escaping with important intel sent directly to CIA headquarters after a satellite link is setup from some dingy, undercover hotel room. Here is my list of the three top science fiction gadgets. Piggybacking on escaping by car, who hasn’t wanted one of those flip license plates seen in The Transporter. Nothing like changing the identity of a car with a flip of the switch. No office that was not me who blew through the intersection, look at my tags.

 The second best science fiction gadget goes to night vision. We are creatures with terrible vision in the dark but with a little technology help, this problem disappears. I have loved night vision since using it as a kid to play capture the flag. And number one for the best science fiction gadget goes to the compressed air powered grapple hook. No wall, tree, ledge or cliff face is out of reach with one of these suckers. It is amazing how many people have posted videos online of their own homemade grapple hooks. Really cool. Nothing like custom spy gear.
