...torn from the small collection of books and newspapers that his unit read and reread and then teach to local villagers. He began learning Maoism at eight, he said.

There was no school in his village and so he and his siblings attended classes given by rebel soldiers who had moved into the area. What they taught made perfect sense to him. "For thousands of years we have been here but we don't have rights...
...known him for 48 years, almost half a century. We met on a film in 1960. It was a low-budget black-and-white independent film called War Hunt. He was an actor. I was an actor.

...with Charlie Chaplin being threaded, like a strip of film, through the wheels and cogs of a giant machine. In later films, the gadgets we created were less likely to help us than to turn on us, like the HAL 9000 computer in 2001: A Space Odyssey, or to hunt us down, like the Schwarzenegger cyborg in the original The Terminator...
