In my opening post, I made a reference to playright and actor Sam Shepard, who wrote a play titled "Operation Sidewinder". The synopsis of the play is an advanced computer escapes into the desert where it becomes the heart of a battle between the power crazy military and a group of black revolutionaries. The play was first published in 1969, and first performed in NY in 1970.

Kinda eerie in that Sam Shepard sorta way.
