The New Sci-Fi Thriller

I have to laugh when I see the commercials for moving pods on TV. I mean they are a GREAT idea. I certainly plan on using that way of packing and moving when we finally do move from here, which I hope is soon, but still... those commercials make me think of a Sci-Fi movie moving 'pods'. Like some sort of Steven Spielberg classic come to a neighborhood near you. I don't write sci-fi, but it sure makes me want to give it a try. Wouldn't that be a great premise for a novel?
