"From IBM to MGM: Cinema at the Dawn of the Digital Age" uncovers the early history of cinema and computers and looks at how filmmakers first encountered the defining technology of the digital age. In this original study, author Andrew Utterson charts the beginnings of digital cinema, addressing both how filmmakers used new digital technologies and how attitudes and anxieties about the rise of the computer were represented in films such as Walter Lang's "Desk Set," Jean-Luc Godard's "Alphaville, " Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" and Michael Crichton's "Westworld."
