The Lone Genius
The X Machina for many people, including myself, is one of the greatest AI films ever made. The series I'm doing at the moment is a critique in part of the lone genius concept. So yes, I'm sort of oppositional and either agnostic or atheistic about that as a concept. But Newton clearly exists in a sort of bubble of himself, in some respects, so does Shakespeare. Do you think we would have an iPhone without Steve Jobs? How much? Well, no but Steve Jobs clearly isn't a lone genius because there's too many other people in the sort of superstructure around him who are absolutely fundamental to that journey.
