Autofac

It's interesting that everyone seems to feel that they need to have a rehash of a story they've already read. Time after time, adaptations of speculative fiction seems to irk people who can't understand that creativity often takes a right turn. This new series based on Philip K. Dick stories gives us another look at the implications of technology. Here we have the world taken over by Amazon.com after a nuclear holocaust. Because the company, actually called Autofac is programmed to keep producing things for consumers, it must protect itself from invasion by said consumers. So we have rebel who feel that eventually Autofac will become the only entity. The only criticism of this episode is that we need more human interaction, to get to know the characters a bit. Also, we should have some clues as to what is being done to counteract the threat. Still, I thought the conclusion was quite good and appropriate.
