Mark Crispin Miller is a media critic and cultural analyst concerned with how cinema and visual culture shape collective perception and political consciousness. His 1994 essay on Kubrick's *2001: A Space Odyssey* in *Sight and Sound* argues that we inhabit the film's predicted world not through technological transcendence but through systems of mediation and simulation that fundamentally alter our experience of reality. In the context of this course, Miller's work enables discussion of how speculative media functions as a kind of predictive apparatus for understanding contemporary technological and political landscapes.
