 > Hi Robert,
 > 
 > Thanks for recommending the movie Sleep Dealer!  I just finished watching it, 
 > and I can't remember seeing a science fiction movie I've liked more since Blade 
 > Runner.   "Coyotek", "Cybracero" -- funny but completely plausible (and likely)
 > .  My only question, this being SF, was "Where'd they hide all the white people?
 > " ;^)

 > I'm cc'ing my colleague Ken Lambert, with whom I share Netflix recommendations (
 > as well as significant aesthetic and political outlook).  Ken recently brought 
 > the historian Morris Berman to W&L for a visit, and I think this movie would 
 > appeal as well to Berman -- who not coincidentally lives in Mexico.
 > 
 > The movie reminded me a bit of a recent Zadie Smith story, which I'd also 
 > recommended to Ken and Morris B.:
