They are set up in ports and airports worldwide to scan for suspects and contraband. They are sent to the depths of the Marianas Trench to guide autonomous submarines. They are used in operating rooms to help surgeons visualize the planned procedure and the patient's current condition. They are launched from battlefields as the steering systems of heat-seeking, anti-aircraft rockets.

We might seldomor nevervisit these places. However, stories often encourage us to imagine extreme environments and a person's dependence on tools in these unforgiving conditions. Perhaps fittingly, one of contemporary fiction's most popular characters is an almost ordinary man (handsome, but not
