I'm gonna sit out any movie round, my list of films to watch is too long as is. I'll tentatively read scifi of any length. So this was an incredible short story, and accessible too -- I posted it on facebook and a couple of people who never comment on any of the links I put on my wall made a point of mentioning how enjoyable it was. What about the future-AI hypothetical that when we fully understand the human brain we'll be able to build computers that can do exactly what the brain does, in the same way -- synapses, impulses, reactions, etc. This strikes me as the closest we could ever come to a machine that experienced emotion, but I'm open to having my mind changed.
