Are Spy Movies Science Fiction?

la_femme_nikita_us_1sh.jpgWe don't talk much about the cloak-and-dagger genre here at io9. We haven't touched on the new James Bond movie, despite the scifi-sounding title (Quantum Of Solace.) We've barely even talked about Get Smart. (We did celebrate the history of James Bond's scifi plots, including Moonraker's fantastic space battle. But we're up in the air about how much of the spy genre belongs within the geodesic dome of science fiction.) Maybe you can help us settle the question.
