The best science fiction has the most truth in it, they used to say. One aspect of A.I. that has been totally overlooked is the premise for the opening sequence - the submerged NYC scene. We are numb perhaps to predictions of doom and gloom, and downplay the global warming warnings of the "left-wingers" - I suppose we are comfortable in the thought that science/government will save us from disaster, but the catastrophic effects of global warming might be more real than we imagine. See article in Wash Post today (link below), maybe there is more going on that meets the eye WRT global warming. Maybe there is more going on in A.I. than meets the eye as well.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A4748-2001Jul16.html
