Spin-off — sixty years of AI cinema, re-read

Authors: Patrick de Carvalho × Pascal Roche

The pitch

The cinema spin-off of the AI Chronicles. Twenty films, sixty years of imagination, and one simple question: what did filmmakers get right, miss, or invent? From 2001: A Space Odyssey to The Creator, each long-form essay (3,500-5,000 words) maps a film like one maps a territory. Three meta-lessons close the volume: prophecies fulfilled, blind spots, disproportionate fears. A quick-access page exists at /cinema.
