Any decent undergraduate in the physics/optics area could tell you that laser weapons is a dead end.

I think they keep people around with some knowledge of the things they're selling (yeah, them book-thingys). Ask them.
Or go to your nearest public library.
But I suppose I can't resist the urge to tell you which authors I like best at the moment:
Alastair Reynolds
China Miéville
Tove Jansson (yes, Moomin)
Iain (M) Banks
Mikhail Bulgakov
Sean McMullen
