A story that was reported this week in the New York Times and the Associated Press, on robots infiltrating a group of cockroaches and influencing their behaviour, is as good a reason as any to post a couple of 10th-anniversary links to my review of Fast, Cheap & Out of Control (1997) and my interview with its director, Errol Morris. I haven’t watched the film in years, but I think of it often, and fondly.
