        Subject: the image of the computer in science fiction

I'd be grateful for recommendations of studies that focus on the image
of the computer in science fiction genres -- novels, short stories,
comics, film -- from 1945 into the 1990s, both utopian and dystopian. I
want to know what people of all sorts thought about the machine.
Literary and artistic quality do not matter for my purposes.

Many thanks.

Yours,
WM
