Agreed. This movie imho a pioneer in the exploration of AI and the dark side of
having it. It's underated actually and believe it may have been an inspiration b
ehind the Terminator franchise; specifically SKYNET. All of which are considered
warnings. Still, entertaining. It would have been neat to see what a sequel wou
ld have been like. I was not aware there was a book series on this. I will have
to look into that...
