Brian Aldiss was, with Arthur C. Clarke (2001: A Space Odyssey), and maybe Anthony Burgess (A Clockwork Orange), one of the few contemporary writers who have closely worked with Stanley Kubrick on the development of one of his films. Supertoys Last All Summer Long, a short story written by Aldiss around 1969, caught Kubrick’s interest in the early 1980s. He consequently invited the writer to develop his concept into a full-fledged screenplay. Aldiss and Kubrick worked together on this project over the years.Supertoys is a 10 pages vignette, a short chamber piece set in a future dystopia, which reflects upon the nature of humanity. A lonely, isolated woman spends her time idly in a fake garden, with Teddy, her speaking toy, and David, her artificial son. Her husband is away, doing business, selling mechanical androids. The woman, probably depressed, is unable to feel compassion for her robotic son, or even acknowledge the fact that he, as she will soon discover, genuinely loves her. She eventually rejects him. Is this child human? Is this woman humane? Aldiss leaves the question open.Aldiss wrote a couple of tie-in sequels to this vignette, included in this volume, along with other stories (Nothing in Life is Ever Enough, a retelling of The Tempest from Caliban's eyes, is quite fascinating). Kubrick rejected them since he wanted to develop the concept as a parable around Collodi’s Pinocchio. In the end, Aldiss’ collaboration with Kubrick wasn’t very fruitful, since the filmmaker eventually abandoned the project. Shortly after Kubrick’s death, however, Steven Spielberg saw the job through the end and released A.I. Artificial Intelligence, probably one of his most moving films since (and in keeping with) E.T. The Extraterrestrial.

Like many other people, I picked this book for the first 3 stories, the ones that were the basis for AI. I think I hardly ever read anything this bleak. The story of the little robot boy who wants to be human so his "mother" loves him is particularly disturbing. What made it particularly efficient was the attention given to details: the absent "father", the boredom of the mother, and the picture of society at large (just one example: it is a society in which the developing countries are as starved as ever, but where at least the West has solved the problem of obesity by inventing an electronic tape worm that is inserted in the bowels and eats half of what the person is ingesting...), painted with acid, dark humour, in which the story of the little boy is merely another grim detail. Very dark, but very human, as well. As for the other stories, they were of rather uneven qualities. Maybe that's just me getting tired of SF satire that is really about our own world... but frankly, was it really that necessary to print a story about a man making huge money by beheading himself in public while the audience is wildly satirised, just to deride the current trends in media and shows in general? Doesn't that sound a bit... well, déjà vu? The only redeeming force there is the style. At least it is properly cynical. Other stories, especially one rewriting of The Tempest, read very well in comparison. There was poetry, style, originality. There was even that human quality that caught my eye in the three Supertoys stories. There were beatiful images, like that planet where women have wings like a peacock's tail. There was a measure of humour. Overall, that hit the mark much better than the satirical bits... which did hit, true, but what is the use when the mark has been hit so often you can't even see it anymore, except as a big fuzzy …

New content will be added above the current area of focus upon selection
Hitting a story in which the tragic ending was that some college-age dude didn't get to stay with the girl he'd been dating - who just turned *thirteen* - has cooled my interest in Aldiss's books considerably. Trying to stick this one out, just so I can mark it "read", but am in the middle of another story in which some guy with a wife who is blind starts cheating on her with another woman, and thinks it is great fun to get this new lady to walk around the house naked in front of his wife? And then to gaslight his wife whenever she asks if someone else is there? And there is quite a bit of detail about the sex they are having, and the new lady waving her crotch (I believe the word "pudendum" may have been used) at the wife? So much so that we're getting into Reefer Madness territory, where perhaps the reader is supposed to find this unsympathetic, but we certainly are spending quite a bit of time detailing it lovingly, aren't we? Conclusion: It may not be worth it for me mark this book "read". I want to start reading Dark Matter. Addendum: Finished it anyway. There were one or two stories that were okay? But also one where some guy takes a woman back to his room, sexually assualts her, and then when she complains to the headmaster of the school the headmaster shows up in the main character's room to let him known that he, "knows how to deal with girls like that," and so not to worry? I don't even know.

His short story “Super-Toys Last All Summer Long” was used as the basis for the film A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) developed by Stanley Kubrick and directed by Steven Spielberg.
While it presents some interesting elements of both types, Aldiss’ short story is definitely more conservative than radical.

Artificial Intelligence and Super-Toys Last All Summer Long differ somewhat in their expression of the concept of dystopia.
