Hi Robert,
Thanks for recommending the movie Sleep Dealer! I just finished watching it,
and I can't remember seeing a science fiction movie I've liked more since Blade
Runner. "Coyotek", "Cybracero" -- funny but completely plausible (and likely)
. My only question, this being SF, was "Where'd they hide all the white people?
" ;^)
I'm cc'ing my colleague Ken Lambert, with whom I share Netflix recommendations (
as well as significant aesthetic and political outlook). Ken recently brought
the historian Morris Berman to W&L for a visit, and I think this movie would
appeal as well to Berman -- who not coincidentally lives in Mexico.
The movie reminded me a bit of a recent Zadie Smith story, which I'd also
recommended to Ken and Morris B.:

Thanks again!
