I was re-reading Blame It on the Wine — I love that story! — and I was puzzled that it was now by an orphaned account. You wrote it, right? Am I confused?

Awww thank you!!!

I did write it, and I did orphan it! I’ve orphaned many works. It was just time to release them into the wild!

I can’t believe I had been sleeping on Alex Garland’s Devs, considering that Ex Machina is one of my favourite films ever. The series is beautiful and engages with quantum physics rather deeply. Also, it’s very “men would rather X than go to therapy”. 10/10

In Devs, the onset golden quantum computer prop was a practical build and quite substantial, weighing approximately half a ton. The onset design referenced real Quantum computer systems from companies such as IBM, and Google, except in the real world, the ‘chandelier’ would be encased in a cooling box since most of the gold apparatus one sees is related to cooling the quantum computer not any actual computation. “It was massive, but all of that quantum computer is practical. That prop should now be in an art gallery. It was stunning,” says Whitehurst.

The majority of the visual effects were created by DNEG in London which has a long history in dealing with Sc-Fi content with respect and tremendous visual fidelity. Films such as Inception and Interstellar have gained the company both Oscars and genuine respect from the science community.
