A black hole engine that could power spaceships

I demand someone write a great sci-fi movie or novel from the premises set in this awesome article.

"With a set of four machines: black hole generator, black hole drive, power plant, and a self perpetuating black hole powered black hole generator, the potential is enormous. As Crane and Westmoreland say:

A civilization equipped with our four machine tool set would be almost unimaginably energy rich. It could settle the galaxy at will."

Awe-inspiring.
