The thing is, if someone thinks you're a robot, can you actually convince them otherwise?

Ahhh, now you've ruined the movie for me! Actually, not really. Haven't seen it, just read the book. :-D

Autism could certainly fit in. I was thinking this morning about an episode of This American Life where a woman figured out, after taking one of those online quizzes, that her husband was an undiagnosed autistic. They both said that figuring that out made a whole bunch of things click in their relationship dynamics.

Unusually for me, I find I must chime in with the comment that the movie is totally worth seeing. Like, it's as good as the book (or at least it was - I haven't seen it in some time, and I have changed.) And yet the relationship between the movie and the book is... really, really weird. I mean, there is some similarity in characters and background, and a lot more in theme, in a lot of ways, but you mostly want to go in with no expectations based on the book.

They are about as different as they could be, and both are pretty amazing.

There's a bit of complexity in that there are at least four versions of the movie.
All have a completely amazing vision of the future. It's bedrock on which much of current scifi is based.

I still haven't even seen the director's cut, so I'm nothing like a completest. (This is mostly a reflection on me generally not seeing a lot of movies. I've seen what I assume is the original theatrical release more than once, and love it lots.)

Me too. I love every version, in a different way.
