Great Story....

I've just finished Super-Toys Last All Summer Long. It's the short story that the film A.I. Artificial Intelligence was based off of.

I really enjoyed the movie which I bought on DVD the first day it came out, which was a few years ago and I had never had the ambition to read the short story. What was interesting is how the story came to be a film: Stanley Kubrick read the story and began writing a screenplay, unfortunately he died before he finished it. Quite a while later Spielberg found the unfinished screen play and decided to try and finish the little that was left and began filming, deciding to dedicate the film to Kubrick's legacy.

For Anyone who enjoyed the film will see the significance in the very brief story. I you haven't seen the film, I recommend it, it's depiction of the human elements of technological advances, as well as social and political aspects.
