Jaron Lanier on Minority Report, to which he was an advisor. Nowhere in Minority Report do we see people interacting with each other creatively using technology, nor do we see people inventing wonderful virtual things for each other. We see no children inventing their own technological culture, as is already commonly happening today. Philip K Dick didn't live long enough to see that, and I want to believe that if he had he would have been forced to write a different kind of science fiction.
