“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

George Clooney is an actor.

Put him in the role of a surgeon in front of a camera, and he will do and say things the average non-surgeon viewer will agree are surgeonish. After an hour of that, we are, as average non-surgeon viewers, satisfied and entertained.
