Salman Rushdie: Fury, Part II

In part two of this interview with Salman Rushdie, we consider the wilder aspects of Fury: the influence of science fiction, surrealism and film. Special attention is paid to the blurring distinction between humans and machines and the painful irony implicit in the difficulty of making such a distinction. (Part one aired October 4.)
