I thought I was the only person who had read this book!
It is a wonderful thing for slashdotters to find in used bookstores. HARLIE didn't make the mistake that HAL did; HARLIE was never physically confrontational. The truly intelligent power-hungry supercomputer doesn't need to be. (Actually, the truly intelligent power-hungry manager doesn't need to be, either)
It was adapted from a short story (Chapter 1 of HARLIE was pretty much that short story) which had quite the punchline to it.
I'm 35 years old. I live a moral ethical life. I don't swear a lot, because I am a teacher as well as an author. I love the English language, I love culture, classical music, great novels, etc. I'm straight, balding, and responsible.
I thought this film was hilarious. Absolutely Thuper.
