    Well except for the computer science, but that much is obvious.

    And that’s never good. But as a computer scientist, I am of the opinion that the real thing is rarely as compelling as The Imitation Game, and even that was about people more than math/science. I’m on board with writers having fun with this stuff because it sort of challenges us to do better out in the world.

    For instance, Hackers was not a wildly-off-target take on what computing was like. Rather it’s what we wanted computing to look like.
