You could have tons of "companions" that way and if they are based on properly defined and diverse ideas you could essentially mix and match companions to create a "future." With enough ideas fleshed out you could create a lot of combinations. Still should work with the main UT book as well since a lot of definitions and what not will/should be referenced.
Interesting idea.
Sort of like a PowerUps or Thaumatology book. Or Psi tech and Biotech is a more wide focus along the same concept.
GURPS UT Companion ContraGrav! with not only gear and such for societies that have it but notes on the effect it can have on Society if it is commonplace.

I could think of a lot of options and ideas along this line.
Cloning (covers autoduel and Roger Zealazny "Gods of Light and Darkness" for example). Some gear but also a lot on what society might look like.
Holoprojectors and Matter Transmutation might have been a good one for Hollywood to have read......
Reactionless drives, Teleporters, go over various ways they might work and some of the ramifications of each.

Many of these could even be smaller PDFs few would merit the size of PsiTech or Biotech.
