Human nature does not change, not even at gun-point. This is what technology is, to change the world around us, so our brittle little society does not break down and we within it.
Technology is the anti-thesis to ideology that believes one can fundamentally alter human nature.
But due to our exponential insatiable nature, all technology in the end would become exponentially powerful. Handing out WMD-Gadgets to glorified monkeys at the end of the curve.
No flying cars due to 9/11.
Philosophy aside, i was always fascinated by the ability to produce plasma with lasers - if need be in midair.
I added that to a game i develop, were the basic containment field for fusion is "augmented" on the fly, by printing plasma-circuitry into the outer layers and running currents through that. Its just scifi, in reality the interior of a reactor is to chaotic and unstable for such things, but its fun to imagine. Like printing a coil shaped laser lightning rod.
