Spike Jonze’s SF-romance uses a human/AI love to address our relationship with technology, among other things. Reviews have been good, overall. What does the Bureau think?

I’ll start by admitting that I never watched it, but isn’t this essentially a remake of S1m0ne?

In all fairness, there have been a number of SF stories over the years with something like this premise. Even Big Bang Theory went over this territory. I’m told this is an especially strong variant, but I doubt I’ll see it until they make it available for home viewing.

Having now seen “Her”, I’ll say this is probably one of the best adaptations of the idea I’ve come across. Has the feel of one of the well-written short stories that deal with this stuff.
