ABOUT:
What begins as a bizarre thriller about murdered models, hypnotic light guns, and early computer graphics gradually transforms into a sprawling meditation on AI-generated humans, digital advertising, subconscious manipulation, doomscrolling, “looksmaxxing,” and the creeping fear of human replacement by machines. Blending film criticism, cultural commentary, humor, and personal reflection, George explores how this messy 1981 flop accidentally anticipated many of the anxieties defining modern life, while digging into Crichton’s conflicted relationship with technology, media, beauty, and the future of art itself.
