Orbits Electric Church Sweepstakes Makes a Tech Girl Envious

There are plenty of contests and giveaways on the web but Orbit’s “Near Future Dystopia Survival Kit” is a hoot and full of completely non essential but seemingly cool tech items. According to the Orbit newsletter, the Electric Church by Jeff Somers is

A ‘kickass thriller” (1), “fun, cyberpunky noir SF” (2) and “an exhilarating example of powerful and entertaining storytelling.”(3)

To celebrate, they are giving away a Near-Future Dystopia Survival Kit from thinkgeek.com, packed with items that might just help you elude Dennis Squalor’s electric monks. The kit includes:

• an RFID Blocking Wallet to keep your info hidden from scanning monks
• a Lazer Tripwire set to help secure your computer from SFF snoops
• a Wall Safe that looks like a power outlet to keep sensitive info away from prying eyes
• a Super Ear that can amplify sound up to 50 decibels to monitor chatter outside your safehouse
• And a Ninja remote – which gives you control over most tvs, and might even shut down an Electric Church monk in a pinch.

To enter, just send an email to orbit@hbgusa.com with the words "Electric Church Sweepstakes" in the subject line. ()Official Rules)

Did I send in my email? You betcha. I can think of several uses for the Lazer Tripwire and the Ninja remote (not really but they sound pretty cool and I think the tot would love them).
