Table of ContentsReviews'...a stimulating and very engaging read.' - Illuminations 'Utterson adroitly draws out the tensions between technophobic film portrayals of computers and an avant-garde of digital utopians engaged in computer-aided art (spare a thought for the sad fate of the lightpen ), who tempted directors to adopt their technology, as with Westworld's pixellated point-of-view shots. Quirky techno-anecdotes abound: the hacking of scavenged second-world-war ballistics computers; the origin of ASCII art; talk of a computer that makes a Freudian slip ; and even an evocative appeal to robotic ontology . Is it time to watch The Matrix again yet?' - The Guardian '...a stimulating and very engaging read.' - Illuminations Author InformationANDREW UTTERSON Senior Lecturer in Film and Digital Media at Canterbury Christ Church University, UK. He is the editor of Technology and Culture: The Film Reader (2005) and co-editor of Film Theory: Critical Concepts in Media and Cultural Studies (2004).
