Mark Crispin Miller is a media critic and analyst of visual culture known for examining how cinema anticipates or reflects technological and social futures. His 1994 essay in Sight and Sound on Kubrick's 2001 demonstrates how speculative fiction can function as a diagnostic tool for understanding present conditions—suggesting we inhabit the world the film imagined, though not necessarily in the ways its original audiences expected. Miller's work anchors the course's investigation into how artistic and scientific speculation intersect with actual developments in technology and governance.
