Okay. It’s been nearly a year since the release of Her, the Spike Jonze film that launched a thousand reviews about society, technology, dystopia, gender, sexism, and race. Her has proven to be a lightning rod of sorts, attracting a range of commentary on the film and its central ideas. Her is far from perfect (or even good), but after reading a recent book exploring the effects of machine technology on the human experience, I was drawn back to similar views of machine technology present in Her.
