Anyone know of research, essays, fan scribblings and especially Cameron-quotes of the alleged anti-technology stance in the Terminator movies? I'm obviously not referring to the filmmaking, which was/is decidedly pro-tech, but the messages of humans battling cyborg/AI enemies. If you can point me in the direction of good sources, I'd appreciate it. Did Google search and found nothing. Thanks!

The pulse that wiped out civilization The genetically engineered humans and others run amuck... I don't have an answer to your question, but I cp'd to a couple of groups that may...

     NASA wants to use noninvasive neuro-electric sensors, imbedded in gates, to collect tiny electric signals that all brains and hearts transmit. Computers would apply statistical algorithms to correlate physiologic patterns with computerized data on travel routines, criminal background and credit information from hundreds to thousands of data sources, NASA documents say. http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=9061 NASA Rejects Claims it Plans Mind Reading Capability NASA managers today said published media reports suggesting the agency plans to read the minds of potential terrorists go too far and ignore the facts and science behind the research. The articles were _base_d on a NASA presentation, which served as talking points for a meeting with Northwest Airlines in December 2001. The presentation was in response to the call from the Federal Government for all agencies to look inward and find what could be done to help in the war on terrorism. NASA does not have the capability to read minds, nor are we suggesting that would be done, said Robert Pearce, Director, NASA's Strategy and Analysis Division in the Office of Aerospace Technology in Washington. Our scientists were asked to think outside the box with regards to ideas that could aid the nation in the war on terrorism and that's what they are doing. We have not approved any research in this area and because of the sensitivity of such research, we will seek independent review before we do. The information contained in the presentation identified research and development challenges that NASA is currently aware of in the information technology arena, and the agency offered some limited thoughts and proposed possible solutions in this field. Some of the ideas will take several years of effort to establish, if there is a practical application.
