“HAL, open the bay doors.”   It’s time to strap on your space suit and replace the alpha-echo-three-five unit.  This December on “Talking Technophobia in Film,” we conclude our Second Season and year-long discussion of the cultural significance of Stanley Kubrick’s famous films.   So rehearse your best rendition of the “Daisy,” travel from the dawn of man, to a moon base on Clavius, and find out what lies past Jupiter and beyond.  We turn our attention to Stanley Kubrick's 1968 Sci-Fi masterpiece, 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY.  We will touch upon the Artificial Intelligence, the approaching Alien Apocalypse, and the clandestine politics of Space.   Some themes will include “human ingenuity,” “conflict theory,” its implications for the future,” and I’ll finally entertain any moon-landing conspiracies you’ve been itching to share.
