The Unborn

Shobin, David. The Unborn. New York: Linden-Simon, 1981.

Retells Ira Levin's Rosemary's Baby (film by Roman Polanski, 1968), with a giant computer replacing Satan in everything except the actual insemination. See for Gothic variations on the themes of (mechanical) possession and computer takeover; see also for a clumsy juxtaposition of bureaucracy and computer machine takeover. (RDE, 17/09/94)
