Cultural References

The first story Bartificial Intelligence (B.I.) is without a question a reference to the movie A.I. that is based on the short story "Supertoys Last All Summer Long" by Brian Aldiss. Even the opening is adopted from A.I. Read more about the movie in the wikipediad article.

The premise of "Survival of the Fattest"' is taken from the Richard Connell short story "The Most Dangerous Game" (one of Burns' lines when the guests first arrive) about Count Zaroff hunting people on his island. Read more about short story in the wikipedia article.
