What you see on these screens up here is a fantasy; a computer-enhanced hallucination. WarGames may be 42 years old (!) but its prescience about our current technocracy and race to take humans out of the loop is as clear as ever. Dennis Fisher, Lindsey O-Donnell-Welch, Zoe Lindsey, and Pete Baker sit down in front of an IMSAI 8080 with some raw corn on the cob and a can of Tab to talk about this brilliant hacker movie classic.
