I think that it's only "spooky" as it goes against our 'common sense,' which is adapted to living in the world that we do. For example, at the atomic level, there ain't a whole lot of stuff making up matter (i.e. lots of empty space), and so you should be able to see right through a wall. And yet you can't, as your eyes aren't made for such a task, as there was no advantage to it.
Anyway, quantum mechanics is always considered magical and spooky as it's almost always not well understood, and so receives a lot of misinterpretation, nor always applicable/analogous to the world that we live in. The math works out just fine.
So, are there specific artifacts that you'd like to discuss the possible science of? Palantir? Third-generation iPhone perhaps?
