Are computers demons?

That’s the question I had in mind after I just watched the classic sci-fi horror movie, Demon Seed, starring Julie Christie, based on a Dean Koontz novel.

Frankly, it’s not a very entertaining movie, but if you’re like me, you might be fascinated a bit by the philosophical futurist mumbo jumbo in it.

This is the first time I’ve watched a film in which the artificial intelligence character is as scary as Hannibal Lecter.

Perhaps Stanley Kubrick should be cloned to direct a remake of it for the 21st century.
