Movies promoting robotics, electronics, programming etc.

ChrisTenone:
Robinson Caruso on Mars?

That sounds like it, though I think it is spelt Crusoe. Did you remember seeing it or are you a Google guru? I was certain it was set on Mars but I could not remember anything about the title so I did not bother to search.

Hi,
I've been thinking, I do a lot of that now and nothing springs to mind that I'm looking for, but finally this did.

Ex Machina

Before the latest incarnation of Westworld.

Tom...

Ex Machina was good.

Although I enjoy films I think books have had the most impact on me. Robert Heinlein's tale about Ganymede being terraformed comes to mind. Gollancz used to publish Sci-Fi in books with plain yellow covers which I would borrow from the library. I would always scan the shelves for yellow covers in the hope of finding one I had not read.
