Gaslighting Hal [mp3]
Two sordid tales of misplaced trust set against each other like LP's
spun by a frantic robot DJ. In Kubrick's, we trust the utopian

Bell
Telephone Labs 1963 promo on computer speech (courtesy of The 365 Days
Project). In Fagen and Becker's, Abbie trusts the scheming first
and second person protagonists who are about to unravel her summer and
who knows what else. |
