Years ago I wrote about how the fantasy of so many men in tech re: AI was to create a woman that doesn't talk back. It's not an original idea--it populates sci-fi, like Ex Machina.
But it's also an easy point to argue because so many guys will just... say it.
That's why Ruby Sparks hits like a freight train, because Zoe wrote it and starred in it (with her husband Paul Dano!) and it shows how a fantasy is literally just a nightmare you haven't thought all the way through to its logical conclusion.
Underrated and terrifying.
